Keto Peanut Butter Fudge
Indulge in this rich and creamy keto peanut butter fudge that’s quick to prepare and deliciously satisfying. Perfect for satisfying sweet cravings while keeping your carb count low.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and melted coconut oil. Stir until smooth; this creates a creamy base for your fudge. Ensure there are no lumps for the best texture.
- Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir thoroughly, as this will sweeten and flavor the fudge. Taste for sweetness and adjust if necessary.
- Line a small dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour the fudge mixture into the dish and spread evenly. This helps the fudge set properly without sticking to the dish.
- Place the dish in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the fudge is firm. This chilling time allows it to set nicely for easy slicing and a great texture.
- Once set, remove the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper. Cut it into squares for serving. Enjoy your delicious, homemade keto treat!

Tips & Variations
- Press the mixture into a parchment-lined pan and chill it fully before cutting. Trust me, premature cutting is a recipe for crumbles and frustration.
- If your peanut butter is the natural kind, make sure it's well-mixed before you start so the oil doesn't throw off your ratios.
- Store these in the fridge or freezer. They'll stay firm and ready to grab when a sweet craving hits.
