FABULOUS Sugar Free Fudge
The good news is that this recipe is rather simple to make.
We are making a simple fudge recipe that has been updated to not include sugar in it. Thus, this is a great recipe to try when you are craving fudge.
As we all know, a regular fudge recipe can be loaded with sugar.
At this point I would like to offer my apologies to grandma's, handed down recipes, and about every kind of childhood fudge recipe that we may have. I myself am just as guilty as I was a fan of that old fashion fudge in my past like as a sugar addict.
This recipe calls for ingredients that you may not have on hand.
You will need to have sugar free chocolate chips for this recipe. However, sugar free chocolate chips are easy to find online. You will need three eight ounce bags of chips.

The recipe for FABULOUS Sugar Free Fudge
Here is what you will need to make this recipe.
- Sugar Free Chocolate Chips- 3- 8 ounce bags.
- Evaporated Milk- ½ cup.
- Sugar alternative- equivalent to 1 cup of sugar. I recommend granular for this recipe.
- Butter- ½ cup.
- Vanilla Extract- 1 teaspoon.
How to make FABULOUS Sugar Free Fudge
This recipe calls for the use of a microwave. However, you could make this on the stove using a double boiler or similar method. Also, you will need a large microwave-safe bowl for cooking this as well.
- Prepare a square glass baking dish with aluminum foil which also overlaps the sides of the dish. Grease or spray this lined baking dish to prevent sticking as well. You can set this aside.
- I like to start by spraying my bowl with nonstick before cooking in it however, you can use what method works for you. Place the chocolate chips into the bowl and cook for 30 seconds on medium. Covering the bowl loosely with a microwave safe paper towel can help prevent a possible mess (at least in my kitchen). Stir in the evaporated milks and then the sugar alternative, butter and vanilla. Cook for another 30 seconds and stir again. Continue this process until everything has melted and blended together- about 4- 4 ½ minutes total.
- Obviously, this will be hot thus, please take precautions. Remove the bowl from the microwave and pour the fudge into the prepped baking dish. Allow to cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate your fudge until you are ready to cut it into squares.

BTW the cornstarch has so much sugar as a carb that it doesn't matter if you don`t put real sugar.Basicly everything has sugar( turn around the milk to see how much sugar does it have for 100ml). In the brown flour you have less sugars than the white, but the cornstarch is a sugar-killer! Make the difference between low-carb and sugar free.

Hi- While High-Fructose corn syrup would have sugar in it, basic corn starch does not. That is why it is important to read the labels. However, there are alternatives to corn starch such as arrowroot, potato starch, or tapioca. Whether or not the alternatives will work in this recipe, I cannot say because I have not tried them. thanks!
Emily Ojo
do you have to add the chocolate chips or are they optional? Asking because my local superstore does not carry sugar-free chocolate chips
SFD
Hi. You can find sugar free chocolate chips on Amazon. I have trouble finding them where I live as well.
Thanks!
Irene
I buy sugar free chocolate chips @ walmart. They carry the regular size bags (no large bags) it's okay because I make this for my husband (pre-diabetic). Likes the fudge as it's his one option for chocolate that he loves.
SFD
Hi. Yes- not all stores carry the chocolate chips. They can be hard to find locally in some places- such as where I live. I am so glad to hear that the fudge is a hit! 🙂
Kristie
Eek! Even though this is sugar free the Splenda is just as bad (or worse) than sugar. It doesn't have the calories but it does make your blood sugar spike. I would try this with Stevia
SFD
Hi.
I have found that there are varying opinions on which sugar alternative to use in a recipe. As a result, I have started to list "sugar alternative" rather than a specific alternative whenever I can. I personally try them all to see what works best for me and my recipe. Stevia is a popular choice it seems. Thanks!!

I don't use starches at all... I wonder if there's a way to do this without? Have you tried it before you hit on the final recipe? Also I'd probably use coconut milk or cream, because I am super low carb, but if I can find a way not to use the starch, Ima try it.
SFD
Hi. I have seen fudge recipes that use use coconut oil in them. I have not tried this however, most coconut oil is carb free. Also, I would eat it in moderation. Thanks!
Katherine H Richardson
When you say Splenda in this recipe, are you using Powder Splenda or Baking Blend Splenda?
SFD
It's the granular form. Thanks!

I have not use any added sugar for over a year but I hope I was tired when I read use the same amount of substitute that one uses as called for in sugar...notta Use less than right? I mean 1 Cup of regular sugar is ½ cup of splenda. And I use both Splenda for baking and stevia. And most definitely use Coconut milk for the milk such as in pumpkin pie...Ummmmmmmmmm so delicious.
SFD
Hi. Not all sugar substitutes are the same. And since not everyone reading my recipes can agree on the substitute of choice for a recipe, I like to suggest that folks make their own choices. You really need to read the package on the substitute to get an idea of how much of that equivalent is equal to an amount of sugar.Some substitutes, such as Splenda granular, will usually be 1:1 sugar amounts in a recipe. However, not everyone is a fan. Thanks!
