Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts), optional

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Once melted, reduce the heat to low and whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Add the granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener) to the mixture, stirring consistently until it's dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually stir in the heavy cream, ensuring the mixture remains smooth and well incorporated.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract and sea salt, keeping the saucepan over low heat.

Step 7

Allow the fudge mixture to thicken slightly while maintaining a gentle simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 8

Once the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 9

If using, fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed.

Step 10

Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 11

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely set and firm to the touch.

Step 12

Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper.

Step 13

Slice into 16 equal squares and serve.

Step 14

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
