Easy Slow Cooker Sugar-Free Low Carb Keto Fudge (Dairy Free & Stove Top Option)
Crock Pot Refined Sugar-Free Dairy Free Fudge couldn’t be any easier or more delicious! Now made completely sugar free with a few adaptions from the original!
This Easy Fudge recipe is made with just 5 ingredients and in the Slow Cooker! You can’t beat an easier dessert for the Holidays!
I originally created this recipe in 2011 before I was even low carb and did use honey. You can use any sweetener you prefer but the New Adapted recipe is by far my favorite! It’s Keto, Gluten Free, and completely Sugar-Free!
Other Easy Desserts for the Holidays that make life less stressful are my Paleo Snowball Cookies, Peppermint Brownie Bark and White Chocolate Fudge and NO Bake Peppermint Bites!
My family asks for this fudge all year through, not just for the holidays! When I first made this recipe in 2011 it was before Lily’s Sweets created their amazing Sugar-Free Chocolate chips. My orginial recipe also used carob chips which are naturally unsweetened, but Lily’s Chocolate Chips are the perfect solution for a low carb fudge!
Although I’m not much of a fudge girl, my family loves it! I was inspired to make some after seeing a recipe from Skinny Crock Pot that seemed to be an easy and simple task and one that wouldn’t involve too much time on my part.
I adapted the original recipe to eliminate honey and make it with Stevia instead. Although its a bit sticky to the touch, it IS delicious and everyone who tried it couldn’t believe it was sugar-free and dairy free! Of course you could still use honey but not having tried it that way I can not comment on taste or texture.
A smaller crock pot, 3 or 4 quart will work better than a larger one. If you plan ahead and have the ingredients ready, you could make this for Christmas now and freeze until your ready to serve!
You could certainly add some chopped nuts within the mixture before spreading into the dish and refrigerating.
OLD PIC Below from 2011!!!! Above pics are with Lily’s Sugar-Free Chocolate chips.
UPDATE: May 2014: Recently I tried this recipe using fresh coconut milk from Silk and it was phenomenal. In fact I think even better than using canned coconut milk and again made with sugar-free chocolate chips as mentioned. A big hit with my entire family!
Brenda’s Notes:
- The fudge may be sweet enough for you with just the sugar-free chocolate chips, but typically those who are not on a low carb diet are used to very sweet type fudge, so if you are making this for others I would suggest adding in additional sweetener as I did in the video.
- Chocolate Liquid Stevia would be fantastic here but I do love my Vanilla Creme Stevia the best.
- This recipe was first published on my blog in December of 2011.

can you make it with dairy milk or half and half or hwc?
I would say best to use heavy whipping cream since it has the higher fat content like coconut milk.
Can I use almond milk, instead of cocoanut milk
Not for this recipe because almond milk doesn’t have enough fat content like coconut milk so it won’t stay formed as fudge.
Do you still have your original recipe? I can’t do chocolate, would rather do carob, and would rather do honey as I can’t have stevia.
Thanks so much.
Have you tried replacing the sf chocolate chips with sf peanut butter chips to make a peanut butter fudge or tiger butter?
Just finished getting my fudge into the dish. Its in the refrigerator cooling, but i did sneak a taste. Its very good. I tried to do a photo but it will not let me.
