Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups low carb sweetener
- 3/4 cup butter (see Recipe Notes for alternative)
- 2/3 cup vegan evaporated milk
- 12 ounces sugar-free chocolate chips (see Recipe Notes for alternative)
- 7 ounces marshmallows (approx 24 marshmallows or Homemade Marshmallows See Recipe Notes for options.)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan greasing or lining with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Add the sweetener, butter, and evaporated milk to a large saucepan. Heat over medium heat to a boil.
- Reduce heat to maintain the boil without overheating, and stir constantly for 4-5 minutes. Alternatively, you can heat the mixture to 234 degrees Fahrenheit, but 4-5 minutes should be sufficient if you don't have a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat.
- Quickly add the chocolate chips, marshmallows, and vanilla extract to the saucepan and stir until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Let the fudge set for at least 3-4 hours at room temperature, or place in fridge for faster cooling and a firmer result.
- If you chose not to use paper or foil, when firm, simply cut the fudge into small pieces in the pan.
- If you did choose to use a baking pan liner, when firm, lift the entire block of fudge using the edges of the paper or foil, placing the block on a cutting board. Cut into serving-size pieces.
- Store the fudge in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
Notes
- Make Sure to Boil: You really need to boil as indicated. It keeps the fudge from being grainy.
- Cool Completely: Let the fudge cool completely before eating. It sets up well, but it can take awhile. You can pop it in the freezer if you want it to set up quickly.
- Sweeteners: Of course you can make this Sugar-free Fudge using whatever sweeteners you like, but choosing a wholesome option is better for you, of course.
- Marshmallow Options: You can use either a vegan marshmallow fluff, vegan marshmallows, keto marshmallows, or keto marshmallow fluff. All should work in this recipe. I used these Homemade Sugar-free Marshmallows and it worked out great!
- Condensed Milk Option: Substituting dairy-free condensed milk for the evaporated milk but reduce the sweetener by 1/2 cup.
