Rich, chocolatey, homemade sugar free chocolate fudge.
Hearing the words “sugar free” normally makes me think of cloyingly sweet, sucralose-laden desserts or beverages.
Chemical sugars and I do not get along. As a little kid, I put Sweet-n-Low in my iced tea because my mom said it dissolved better than sugar.
However, after a few months of awful stomachaches, we determined Sweet-n-Low didn’t like me very much.
The feeling is mutual. To me, foods with fake sugars tend to taste… well, fake.
But this sugar free chocolate fudge has no fake sugar.
It only has natural ingredients, which is perhaps why it tastes so completely delicious!
You’ll find no Darth Vaders lurking here in this rich, decadent, melt-in-your-mouth sugar free chocolate fudge.
The recipe has two options – both options are free of refined sugar, and use the stevia option if you want it to be 100% free of added sugar as well.
If you’re used to healthy desserts, some readers even say that the banana is sweetener enough – so it’s up to you!
*If you’d prefer a recipe for healthy fudge without banana, be sure to check out either my Almond Butter Fudge or my Coconut Oil Fudge Recipes.
Don’t forget the variations:
Sugar Free Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut butter (120g)
- 1 overripe banana, or 2/3 cup additional coconut butter (160g)
- scant 1/8 tsp salt
- pinch uncut stevia OR 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup cacao or cocoa powder (40g)
- optional 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- optional 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make sure your coconut butter is melted before starting. Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Then smooth the fudge into a container or candy molds. Plastic containers work well, because you can pop the fudge right out. Place in the fridge for a few hours, or freeze for a few minutes. You can freeze it for longer periods of time; just be sure to thaw at least 15-20 minutes prior to eating.View Nutrition Facts

It’s not sugar free. Honey is naturally sweet and Maple syrup is not good for diabetics. And some diabetics can not eat bananas. I know this recipe wasn’t good for my sugar levels. If you know of a recipe that is good for diabetics please post. Thanks Melinda

Hi Melinda, the stevia option is the sugar free option. To make it suitable for diabetics, I’d use the stevia option and the extra coconut butter instead of banana. But of course check with a doctor first to make sure it’s okay for your specific needs, as everyone is different

Can you substitute Almond butter for the coconut butter in this recipe??
Jason Sanford says
Sure but it won’t firm up at all. Will still make a nice frosting I’m sure though!
Jack says
SUGAR FREE!?!? Maple syrup and honey have a TON of sugar.
Jason Sanford says
The stevia version does not…
Jane says
Can peanut butter be subbed for the coconut butter? Thank you.

Came here for a recipe on sugar-free fudge. Sorry, but maple syrup and honey are both SUGARS. This is very misinforming.

Stevia is the sugar free option. The recipe is not misleading, as it can be made sugar free 🙂
Lynda Finn says
Love the site and now at Christmas particularly so. But please, please don’t call something ‘sugar free’ when its not. Maple syrup, honey and others are ALL sugars. Many disappointed diabetics are going to look at the recipes and sigh.
If they make and eat something with these sugars in them, they could be very ill indeed.
Otherwise, I’m a rgular here 🙂

Thank you so much, Lynda! As for the sugar – we definitely do not consider maple syrup to be sugar free. There is a stevia option here, and that is the sugar free version.
