Carnivore Fudge Candies Recipe

Carnivore Fudge Candies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter (preferably grass-fed)

• ½ cup heavy cream

• 2 tbsp powdered erythritol (or your favorite carnivore-friendly sweetener)

• ¼ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened, or use 70-85% dark chocolate if preferred)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, if you’re not strictly carnivore)

• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Melt the Butter and Cream:

   • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir to combine.

2. Add Cocoa and Sweetener:

   • Once the butter and cream are well combined and heated, reduce the heat to low. Add the cocoa powder and sweetener (erythritol) to the pan. Stir constantly until everything is fully dissolved and smooth. Make sure there are no lumps from the cocoa powder.

3. Add Vanilla and Salt:

   • Stir in the vanilla extract (if using) and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor.

4. Cool the Mixture:

   • Once the mixture is smooth and well combined, remove the pan from the heat. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before pouring it into molds (silicone molds work best) or a small dish lined with parchment paper.

5. Set the Fudge:

   • Place the filled molds or dish in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 1-2 hours, or until the fudge has completely set and firmed up. The freezer will help speed up this process.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the fudge has set, remove it from the molds or dish. Slice it into small squares or bite-sized pieces. You can enjoy the fudge cold from the fridge or at room temperature for a softer texture.

Tips:

• Sweetener: You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less erythritol, depending on your taste. Some people like a more intense sweetness, while others prefer a less sweet version.

• Cocoa Powder: Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for the best flavor. Alternatively, you can use a small amount of dark chocolate (70-85% cocoa) for a richer taste, but be mindful of the carbs.

• Storage: These fudge candies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, keep them in the freezer.

Optional Variations:

• For a Nutty Twist: Add a handful of crushed pecans, almonds, or macadamia nuts to the mixture before setting it in molds (this will slightly add carbs, but it’s still within a low-carb or carnivore approach).

• For Extra Creaminess: You can replace some of the butter with more heavy cream for a creamier texture.

These Carnivore Fudge Candies are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without breaking your diet. Rich, creamy, and full of chocolatey goodness, they’re sure to be a hit! Let me know how it goes when you try them! 😋
