How to make delicious keto fudge

This recipe may look complicated at first but rest assured that it’s not even close to being complicated. Turns out this is one of the easiest low-carb fudge recipes I’ve made in a while.

Our chocolate walnut fudge is made of two distinct layers, as follows:

• Main Layer – the bottom part made with walnuts and other ingredients
• Top Layer – the chocolate coating with berries sits on top of the base layer

Here’s how you prepare a wonderfully delicious keto fudge like this one:

Start with the Main Layer

1. Melt chocolate in a double boiler and let it cool down on the counter.
2. Add everything else in a blender or kitchen robot, except for berries. That’s walnuts, melted chocolate, coconut oil, coconut sugar, mint, orange skin and raw cacao.
3. Process for 1-2 minutes until you obtain a thick batter.
4. Pour batter into a small tray and slowly mix in berries.
5. Transfer into the fridge to harden for 1-2 hours.

Finish with the Top Layer

1. Slowly melt chocolate in a double boiler using low temperature.
2. Take out the tray with the Main Layer from the fridge and pour the chocolate paste on top.
3. Decorate with more berries and place again into the fridge for a few hours to harden.
4. Remove from the fridge when solid and cut into squares. DONE!

This chocolate walnut fudge can be upgraded!

What I love most about this kind of recipe is how easy I can adapt it to my own liking, or simply create variations to spice things up in the kitchen.

This walnut fudge may be delicious but can also be boring to use the same recipe over and over again. Let us discuss variations!

There are many ways you can create variations of this simple fudge and here are a few of my ideas:

• Use other kinds of berries and you’ll be surprised how the flavor will change. Small berries like blueberries or raspberries are best since they won’t ruin the delicate texture of this fudge.
• Use lemon or grapefruit skin instead of orange skin (or skip it all together). Make sure to keep it organic though.
• Make your own chocolate paste by using cacao mass and cacao butter instead of store bought chocolate.
• Use medjool dates instead of coconut sugar and you’ll end-up with a slightly different taste overall.
• Are you looking for that dark chocolate taste? Skip the coconut sugar or use 90% dark chocolate (or even 100% dark chocolate).
• Replace walnuts with pecans in case you want a bit of variation in terms of flavor and nutrients.

Tips for the perfect chocolate fudge

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil – Make sure to use extra virgin coconut oil at room temperature, otherwise you won’t be able to mix all the ingredients in the blender. If you usually keep the coconut oil in the fridge, simply let it sit on the counter for an hour prior to using it in this recipe. Better yet, you can melt coconut oil in the oven just a bit before using.

Orange Flavor – Make sure to use the skin from an organically grown orange since conventionally grown oranges (and other citrus fruits) may be sprayed with pesticides. These nasty chemicals (which are linked to all sorts of health issues) tend to accumulate in the skin of fruits.

Berries – Our recipe calls for using cranberries in the main layer, but you can successfully use other types of berries. Cranberries will add a rather sour-ish taste which comes to balance the amount of healthy fats. Actually that was the main reasoning behind my using cranberries in this recipe. If you want to use other kinds of berries, stick with small size berries like blueberries or raspberries, since they won’t mess-up the texture of your fudge.

Texture – This chocolate walnut fudge has a soft fudgy texture but you can make it more solid if you want. If this is your goal, use a bit more chocolate in the main layer and you should be on the right track. You could also use a bit more coconut oil but, one important aspect to keep in mind when using more coconut oil, is that coconut oil will solidify only in the fridge and will start melting once it reaches room temperature.

Pro Tip: This chocolate walnut fudge can be served as a delicious snack, a tasty recovery meal or as a grab and go breakfast. Exercise caution because it’s known to be delicious and healthy!

I hope you’ll love this recipe as much as we did! Don’t forget to share it with someone you love …. Sharing is caring!

This creamy chocolate fudge is super tasty, loaded with chocolate, walnut and berries, and so easy to make. Plus it comes with lots of healthy fats and it’s low in carbs, which makes it super healthy.

Equipment

• Double Boiler
• Blender or Kitchen Robot

Ingredients

Main Layer

• 300 g walnuts
• 5-6 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil (at room temperature, melted)
• 5 tsp coconut sugar
• 3-4 leaves fresh mint
• 1/5 skin orange (must be organic, grated)
• 75 g dark chocolate (85% cacao, melted)
• 1 tsp raw cacao powder
• 1-2 tbsp cranberries

Top Layer

• 100 g dark chocolate (85% cacao)
• 1 handful cranberries + blackberries (other berries are fine as well)

Instructions

Main Layer

• Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler and let it cool down on the counter until it reaches room temperature.
• Add all the ingredients for the main layer into a blender or kitchen robot, except for berries. That’s walnuts, melted chocolate, coconut oil (melted), coconut sugar, mint, orange skin and raw cacao powder.
• Process for 1-2 minutes until you obtain a thick batter.
• Pour batter into a small tray and add in berries. Gently mix using a spatula, until the berries have incorporated into batter.
• Transfer into the fridge and let it sit a bit to harden. Depending on the consistency of your batter, this step may take 1-2 hours.

Top Layer

• Melt chocolate in a double boiler using low temperature. Take your time, you don’t want to boil the chocolate, instead you want to melt it slowly.
• When the chocolate has melted set aside for a few minutes to reach room temperature.
• Remove tray with Main Layer from fridge and pour melted chocolate over it. Make sure to spread the chocolate paste evenly on the entire surface of the base layer.
• Decorate with berries and place again into the fridge for a few hours or until the fudge has solidified.
• When ready, remove from the fridge and cut into squares. Transfer on a plate and enjoy as is, or alongside your favorite coffee or tea.

Notes

Only use the skin from an organic orange. The skin of conventionally grown oranges (and other citrus fruits) is loaded with pesticide residues that you want to avoid due to health risks.

Use coconut oil that is at room temperature and almost melted, otherwise you won’t be able to mix it with the other ingredients to form the base layer.

Using more chocolate in the base layer will help solidify this fudge even more, while using less chocolate will keep it more “fudgy”.

Feel free to use the types of berries that you enjoy. Besides cranberries, blueberries and raspberries are great choices too.
