Ingredients
• 1/3 cup / 80 ml heavy cream
• 1/2 cup / 113 g cocoa butter
• 1/2 cup / 55 g pecans, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup / 113 g coconut oil
• 4 Tbsp / 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 Tbsp / 48 g powdered Swerve, Stevia or Erythritol sweetener
Instructions
1. Preparation
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cocoa butter and coconut oil. Microwave on a low power or defrost setting in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
3. Whisk the unsweetened cocoa powder into the melted oils until no lumps remain.
4. Carefully pour the chocolate mixture into a blender. Add the heavy cream and your choice of powdered sweetener. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth, glossy, and emulsified.
5. Arrange silicone molds on a small sheet pan for stability. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly into the bottom of each mold.
6. Pour the blended chocolate mixture over the pecans, filling each mold.
7. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or until completely firm. Once set, pop the fudge bites out of their molds and enjoy!

Pro Tips
• For the smoothest texture, use a powdered sweetener instead of granular. If you only have granular, give it a quick blitz in a coffee grinder or blender first.
• Add a splash of vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to the blender to enhance the deep chocolate flavor.
• These fudge bites must be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. They will soften quickly at room temperature.
• Feel free to swap the pecans for other low-carb nuts like walnuts, macadamia nuts, or almonds.
FAQ
Q: Do I have to use a powdered sweetener for this keto fudge
A: Yes, using a powdered sweetener like Swerve or Erythritol is crucial for a smooth, creamy texture. Granular sweeteners won’t dissolve properly and will result in a gritty fudge. If you only have granular, blitz it in a blender first to create a powder.
Q: How should I store these keto fudge bites
A: These fudge bites must be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They are made with coconut oil and cocoa butter, which will cause them to soften and melt quickly at room temperature.
Q: Why is my keto fudge not getting firm
A: If your fudge isn’t setting, it most likely needs more time to chill. This recipe requires at least 6 hours in the refrigerator to become completely firm. Also, ensure you used the correct measurements of coconut oil and cocoa butter, as they are essential for the fudge to set.
Q: Can I use different nuts in this recipe
A: Absolutely. You can easily swap the pecans for other low-carb nuts. Chopped walnuts, macadamia nuts, or almonds are all delicious alternatives that pair wonderfully with the rich chocolate flavor.
