INGREDIENT NOTES:
KETO DARK CHOCOLATE:
- Choose unsweetened and contain at least 70% cocoa in dark chocolate chips to provide a deep, rich flavor. They give the fudge a smooth, silky feel while keeping its carb content low. Better chocolate avoids bitterness and melts more evenly.
HEAVY CREAM:
- The rich, creamy texture of heavy cream counterbalances the intensity of the dark chocolate. Additionally, it raises the fat content, which keeps the meal completely keto. Always use full-fat cream for optimal results.
BUTTER:
- Butter provides the silk and smooth texture and intensifies the flavor. It contributes to the smooth texture by binding the elements together. Grass-fed butter has more nutrients and a deeper flavor.
ERYTHRITOL POWDER:
- Erythritol powder adds sweetness without the use of sugar or carbohydrates. Use the powder form of sweetener to avoid the gritty texture. It adds a crisp, sweet taste to the fudge that goes well with the cherry.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- The chocolate gains depth and warmth from the addition of vanilla extract. It balances the taste and lessens the cocoa’s bitterness. The taste of pure vanilla is the most authentic.
CHERRY ESSENCE
- The tart, delicious burst of freeze-dried cherries can definitely increase the carb count so we replace them with cherry essence.
SEA SALT:
- A tiny teaspoon of sea salt balances the sweetness and improves the flavor of the chocolate. It enhances each bite’s flavor. Don’t use too much to keep the fudge rich rather than salty.
