Low Carb White Chocolate Fudge
Keto White Chocolate Fudge made low carb, sugar free and dairy free!
White Chocolate Fudge
White snow. Pretty, soft, clean.
I’ve been longing to see it yet it hasn’t appeared this winter here in New England. We will get it soon enough I’m sure. When I haven’t seen snow since last winter I miss it and can not wait to have it return just in time for a white Christmas.
Though as soon as the holidays are over and the New Year has begun I’m all set with it and wish it would go away. Unfortunately that doesn’t happen until around March sometimes.
So I guess you could say this recipe came from the desire to see something beautifully white and clean. How did I end up with fudge? I’ve always wanted to work on a sugar free white chocolate fudge recipe. And recently I made a white chocolate candy bar that also had been on my foodie to do list for some time.
Low Carb White Chocolate
Making white chocolate sugar free was not easy and I attempted it quite a few times with failures before getting it just right. The same experience has resulted with this fudge. Using cacao butter can be difficult, at least for me it’s been a challenge. Add something it doesn’t like once melted and you’ve got an oily, uncooperative mess on your hands.
I’ve had to change around the amounts of coconut butter and cacao butter since my youngest really dislikes the flavor of coconut. The emphasis here is the white chocolate flavor and less coconut. So even if your not a fan of coconut like my little man you won’t notice it much at all. The creamy, irresistibly soft texture will win you over in one bite!
The third time I made it I thought it just melted in your mouth so beautifully that maybe the texture should be firmer. I remember exactly what my oldest teen said, “MOM stop! This is Perfect!”
The picky hubby was won over as well. He’s pretty vocal about aftertastes and makes sure to let me know if he notices anything he doesn’t like in my desserts. With this, he made sure to tell me there was no aftertaste with the stevia at all. Hallelujah!
Pillows of white fluffy snow. That’s what I see when I look at them. And I love them. You will love them too.
This recipe is perfection my friends. 🙂

Notes
- This recipe was first published in December of 2014 and updated with video in Dec.2018.
- I would not change a thing to this recipe. I would not substitute this recipe in any way. Why? Because it is absolutely perfect as it is. The only one thing I will say is, if you don't have coconut liquid stevia then use vanilla liquid stevia or plain. I would not use powdered. I would not use Swerve here. This fudge is so completely smooth it melts in you mouth.
- These can stay on the counter and will not get too soft. They were perfect. I've even frozen them and thawed them and they were still perfect.

Hi, This is delicious but mine didn’t set. Did you mean coconut cream? or coconut butter? (which is a little less liquid?) I think that might have been it, because everything else was the same. :/ Any suggestions?
No coconut cream, this cacao butter is linked in the recipe to see the one I used as well as the coconut butter, just click them in the recipe to see which ones I used.
I love a little crunch in my fudge….I think macadamia nuts would be heavenly in this recipe….I’ll definitely give it a try!
I was prepared to love this because I LOVE white chocolate. I must have done something quite wrong because mine had NO flavor and wasn’t very sweet either. I substituted liquid sucralose for the stevia because I don’t really like stevia, other than that I followed the recipe to the letter. Mine also wasn’t as white as the picture.
What could I use in place of the protein powder? Thanks!
Well that was my replacement for the missing sugar so I’m not quite sure.
The protein powder that’s listed in the recipe has cane sugar in it. Have you tried other brands that are sugar free in cooking or baking?
I currently use Jay Robb’s vanilla and/or chocolate protein powder.
I have been looking for cocoa butter but haven’t found it yet. I did see coconut butter but I don’t think that is the same as cocoa butter. Help
you can buy cocoa butter on amazon
This fudge is perfect for w winter white party. Love the presentation and the flavors.
White chocolate fudge is good. I have made one with sour cream and one with orange oil. Really smooth etc…
I did not eat them, but gave as gifts.
This recipe sounds great. Was happy to learn there are “flavored” stevia liquids out there. Can’t wait to try this. recipe.
So someone asked me – when I shared the link to the recipe with them because they LOVED it so much — what could they substitute for the protein powder because they do not have any. Then they asked if they could just leave it out. I decided to come back to the expert because I did not know how to answer. SO…is the protein powder just to give it a punch of flavor or does it help with the setting of the fudge??? is there a viable sub or could it simply be omitted and still result in the fabulousness that this recipe is?? 🙂
So smooth & decadent! The subtlety of the coconut is perfect … this fudge is magical! Thank you for posting :o)
I would pick this fudge over chocolate any day! While I love chocolate I have a huge weak spot for anything coconut. LOVE this!
This looks delicious!!!
SO pretty…it reallly does look clean & white, just like fresh fallen snow (which I am waiting for a good snowfall too).
That fudge looks great! I am so glad you put a link on the cocoa butter. I havn’t been able to find that anywhere.
I had no idea there was coconut flavored stevia! This is something that I have to try for my family.
What a great idea – I think my kids will finally be able to have some white “chocolate” thanks to your fantastic recipe. Yay – Thank you!
Wooow. Healthy white chocolate fudge?! This sounds like a dream. I LOVE white chocolate but hate how fake it is.
These do look so pure and downy-white. I’d love to make and take a batch of these to my grandma this year (she’s a coconut lover).
Pinning and printing! These look utterly elegant and would look so perfect on a holiday candy tray!
I have cocoa butter…is this the same as, or at least a viable substitute for, cacao butter?? I have all other ingredients and think this would make a great to my holiday dinner this weekend but have no way to get cacao butter on such short notice in my little town. Thanks for the help!!
If yours is a pale yellow and raw with nothing added to it then it surely is the same thing.
Yes it is…thank you! Making it now!!
Just click the link as well to look at the one I have that I linked to in the recipe.
Oh my, you’ve done it again, sugar free fudge! In love!
I’m not really complaining that we haven’t had much snow here in Massachusetts – but a little would be nice for Christmas! This fudge looks delicious!
I’d like a ton of those, pleeeeease!! YUM!
I’ve never had a white chocolate fudge…it looks delicious
This fudge looks great!
You know, I’m not sure I’ve ever eaten any fudge that wasn’t dark chocolate based. This white chocolate take sounds delicious, especially w/ the coconut milk.
