This Chocolate Low Carb Vegan Fudge is melt in your mouth good! It only takes a few minutes to make with very few ingredients.
Vegan Keto
Since the holidays are upon us, I thought I’d share this Chocolate Low Carb Vegan Fudge recipe with all of you. I have been making it for several months now because I have been eating a vegan keto diet.
You will still see recipes with bread and other high carb foods interspersed between the low carb posts since I have about three months worth of recipes waiting to be posted.
Low carb vegan kind of sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it! Normally I eat beans, grains, and other foods that have a good amount of carbs in them.
In the past you would find me substituting a lettuce wrap in place of bread, or cauliflower rice in place of regular rice, so that part hasn’t changed much.
The biggest adjustment has been with beans, fruit, and hidden sugars. I haven’t been eating beans, except for edamame. I plan on adding other beans back into my diet, but at a smaller quantity then I ate before.
Bananas are my go-to fruit for smoothies. Now I use raspberries or about a quarter to a half of a banana instead of a whole. I have to use a lot less sweetener in a recipe, or use a sugar free substitute.
Since I started eating this way I have had NO allergy symptoms. I looked at the calendar one day and realized that the Fall allergy season came and passed.
I have had bad allergies both during the Spring and the Fall. It has been so bad in the past that I have been bedridden. I wasn’t really planning on eating this way long term, but considering how great I feel, I may stick with it.
Besides eating low carb, I have been eating high fat – the keto diet for those of you who are familiar, but veganized. I have been eating good quality fats like avocados, coconut oil, and almond butter.
This Chocolate Low Carb Vegan Fudge falls into the fat bomb category for those of you on a keto diet.

I first tried this low carb fudge using stevia, which is not my favorite sugar free sweetener because it can be bitter if you use too much of it. I have gotten used to the taste, but still prefer erythritol or a very small amount of dates or agave syrup to sweeten recipes.
This keto fudge has a dark chocolate taste to it, so it isn’t too sweet. It goes well with almond or peanut butter. Just break up some fudge into the nut butter, sprinkle on a little salt, and eat by the spoonful!

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 teaspoons erythritol or 15-20 drops stevia

Once cooled, if using the plastic wrapped lined container, pull fudge out and slice on a cutting board. Store in the fridge.
Recipe Notes
Nutrition facts are with erythritol, which contains 4 grams of carbs per teaspoon. So there's about 0.7 carbs in each piece of fudge, whereas stevia contains no carbs.

You had me at “low carb”! Definitely can’t wait to make this fudge. I hesitate to eat all the holiday goodies because of the carbs and calories, it’s so nice to be able to have a little treat of my own.
Willow Moon says
Thanks Joanie! It’s a hard time of year to be eating low carb, isn’t it! So at least we have alternatives!
Imaobong says
I’ve been craving chocolates and now I don’t have to worry about calories with this one — and such a simple procedure.
Thank you, Willow!
Amber says
Low carb, vegan fudge?? Did we just become best friends?? 🙂
Cait Weingartner says
Yum! This fudge looks incredibly delicious. I’m going to make a few batches to give to my vegan friends and family. Thanks for sharing!
Angie Rose says
I love fudge! Especially around the holidays, but I don’t like how heavy it can be. This seems like the perfect alternative! I’m so excited to give it a try 🙂
Willow Moon says
Thanks Angie, I hope you enjoy it!
Chelsea says
Are the directions different for stevia? This looks fabulous!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Chelsea! You don’t need to heat the fudge if you are using stevia. Erythritol needs to be heated to dissolve.
Chelsea says
OH MY GOSH! You had me at fudge. This looks so amazing.
Willow Moon says
Thanks Chelsea!
Shannon says
What great ideas to use coconut oil and almond extract…I normally don’t like fudge, but this looks soooo good.
Willow Moon says
Thanks Shannon! This fudge tastes more like dark chocolate, so if you normally don’t like fudge, but like dark chocolate, you may like this!
Tammy says
Do you use canned coconut milk or the other kind in the carton? Thanks!
Willow Moon says
I use canned. I will edit the post to reflect that. Thanks!
Lil says
Do you have the nutritional value for those of us who are doing the Ketogenic Lifestyle? Especially the Fat / Carb / Net Carb?
Willow Moon says
In my app I have 11 grams fat, 1 gram net carb, 0.6 grams protein, and 102 calories per one piece of fudge. I apologize though because I don’t know if that was for stevia or erythritol. I believe it was for stevia. Erythritol has 4 carbs per teaspoon, so not as ideal on a keto diet. When I did keto, I added in more carbs after a few months, so used erythritol in addition to stevia to sweeten things. Also, I prefer the taste of erythritol.

Hi Willow
This fudge looks delish.
I made the 2 ingredient PB fudge was so devine couldnt stop eatting it
What are the carbs fat and net carbs to PB fudge.
Willow Moon says
Thanks Grace! I haven’t calculated the 2 Ingredient Vegan Peanut Butter Fudge since I am no longer counting carbs, etc., but since there are only two ingredients it would be really easy to find out with an app like MyFitness Pal.
Sarah says
Hey Willow! Just wondering how big each piece of fudge ends up per a 12 serve distribution?
Thanks!
Willow Moon says
It’s been awhile since I made these, but as I recall I think they were about 1 1/2″ by 1″ or so, and about 3/4″ deep. I hope that’s correct, because I am going on memory.
Sarah says
Can I use xylitol in this recipe?
Thank you
Willow Moon says
I haven’t tried it, so I am not sure how it would effect the recipe.
Anabelle says
This is perfect for those of us cutting down on sugar. They satisfied my chocolate cravings! Thanks for the recipe!
Willow Moon says
Thanks Anabelle!
Kara R. says
This recipe looks great! Can I substitute a different artificial sweetener? Something like NaturaTaste that comes in packs? My mom is a Type-1 diabetic and I’d like for her to be able to eat some fudge without using up too much insulin, and she doesn’t like the taste of stevia.
Willow Moon says
You sure can! Stevia is definitely an acquired taste.
