Equipment
- Loaf Pan
- Parchment Paper
- Medium Saucepan
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream (or full-fat canned coconut milk for dairy-free)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other nut milk, or more cream/coconut milk)
- 1/3 cup powdered erythritol sweetener
- 3 tablespoons granular allulose (or xylitol)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped (100% cacao recommended)
- 1/3 cup collagen peptides (unflavored, optional for chewiness and protein)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutched cocoa for deeper flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Pan: Start by lining a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. This simple step makes it super easy to lift out your delicious fudge later!
- Simmer Your Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream (or coconut milk), powdered sweetener, allulose, and butter (or coconut oil). Heat this mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture noticeably thickens and reduces by approximately one-third. This creates a rich, condensed base for your fudge.
- Melt in the Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add your finely chopped unsweetened chocolate to the hot cream mixture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften, then whisk until it's completely smooth and wonderfully glossy.
- Fold in Flavor & Goodness: Now, whisk in the collagen peptides (if you're adding them for that extra chewy texture and a healthy protein boost!), cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until everything is beautifully blended and smooth.
- Chill & Enjoy: Pour this irresistible mixture into your prepared loaf pan. If you wish, sprinkle a little sea salt or some chopped nuts on top for an extra touch of flavor and texture. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 6 hours, or until the fudge is perfectly firm. Once set, simply lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut it into neat, bite-sized squares. Savor your healthy, homemade chocolate indulgence!
