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 homemade alternative)
- 7 ounces marshmallows (these Homemade Marshmallows work great -- see Recipe Notes for options)
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp 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, marshmallow cream 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
