Easy Keto Chocolate Fudge Recipe
Calling all chocolate lovers!
Boy, have I created a surprise for you! A simple, rich, and creamy easy keto chocolate fudge recipe. I know, I know, you have tried all of the “best” fudge recipes hoping to fill that void, but this one is it! I have tested and tested this fudge more times than I can count to make sure I provided the best recipe for you.
This simple keto dessert recipe only uses three ingredients and can be made in the microwave or stove-top in under 5 minutes. I can get this made before the kids get home from school, hide it, and they will never know anything about it. 😆
Creamy coconut milk goodness!
In this recipe, I have used our keto sweetened condensed milk as one of the ingredients, and it makes this easy keto chocolate fudge recipe over-the-top delicious! It uses coconut milk as the secret ingredient to keep it oh so low carb.
Hip Tips for making the best keto chocolate fudge:
- If you like fudge topped with nuts, you can opt to add pecans or chopped walnuts before the fudge cools.
- If microwaving, make sure you are heating up your chocolate and condensed milk in 30-second intervals to avoid scorching.
- Place parchment paper in the pan to make clean up a breeze. Also, you can add clips to the side to hold up the paper.
- If you’re running short on time and you’ve placed the fudge in the pan, feel free to pop your pan in the freezer until it is set. Then lift out the parchment paper and cut the fudge into bite-size pieces.
- Store in a sealed container for up to five days.

Simple, rich, and creamy keto chocolate fudge with three ingredients and done in under five minutes.
Ingredients
Directions
1
In a microwavable bowl, add 1 cup of keto sweetened condensed milk and the bag of dark chocolate chips.
2
Place in microwave and cook in 30-second intervals (this took me 1 minute total to get the chocolate to be completely melted). Make sure to stir between intervals. You can also add in nuts to the mix.
3
Add in 1 tablespoon of granular Swerve and stir.
4
Pour in 8x8 pan lined with parchment paper or nonstick pan, add nuts to the top if you like (optional).
5
Place in refrigerator or freezer until cool. Serve and enjoy!
Additional Notes
Don’t be alarmed by the high total carb count! Fiber and erythritol (the main ingredient in Swerve) do not affect blood sugar in the same way that regular carbs do, so we’ve subtracted them from the total carb count. You’ll see that the net carbs are much lower once you remove the sugar alcohols and fiber.

My team member, Jenna, gave this recipe a test for me, and here’s what she had to say:
“This fudge is delicious and has a great flavor and consistency! I just love the keto condensed milk recipe, what a great way to make it by using coconut milk as one of the ingredients, it really makes this recipe work. Who knew low carb fudge could taste so good!?”
So… when you’re feeling like you need a quick keto dessert, let this be your new go to. I mean who doesn’t love fudge? 😋
Looks delicious! Do you think unsweetened baker’s chocolate would work in place of the chocolate chips?
Yes, you can, but the unsweetened will be very bitter. I found that dark chocolate was better with the sweetened condensed milk. I tried semi-sweet and it wasn’t sweet enough for fudge. You could add in swerve, but I can’t guarantee the outcome, Karen!
Getting my ingredients and looking forward to trying. I love a simple recipe that doesn’t take all day in the kitchen annnnd won’t add a bunch of unnecessary carbs. Thank you so much for taking the trial runs and guess work out of the way for us 🙂
You’re so welcome! ❤️ Hope you enjoy it as much as we have!
I made this exactly with Lilly’s milk chocolate and I did the Sugar free Keto condensed milk left it in the refrigerator and it didn’t set up correctly, very frustrated it likes melts have to have spoon to get it out almost. the flavor is awesome.
Oh darn! Sorry to hear it didn’t set up. Did you use the condensed milk recipe through the link above? Super happy you did enjoy the flavor!
Spoony fudge 🤩sheryl
Hi,
Could you post a link to the coconut milk you used? thanks!
You can find that here.
I dont see coconut milk in that recipe?
The coconut milk is to make this recipe of sweetened condensed milk, Carole Williams.
What brand of coconut milk ?
Hi Sharon! We used this recipe for the Keto Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk.
Can you freeze the fudge?
Yes! That should work as long as it is wrapped in plastic wrap and then sealed it in an air tight container. 😊
Where can I find that kind of condensed coconut milk ?
The recipe we used is here, Jennifer Stark!
Wonder how much peanut butter you could add instead of chocolate chips to make peanut butter fudge?
You could use white chips and sugar-free peanut butter fit powder (about 1/2 cup)!
could i use unsweetened condensed milk with erythritol?
Hi Terri! We recommend making your own keto-friendly sweetened condensed milk since evaporated milk (which is unsweetened condensed milk) can still have sugar in the nutritional value. Also, the process of cooking the ingredients together in our sweetened condensed milk recipe brings out a richer, more caramelized flavor.
You can try to swap in the ingredients if you’d like, though it will change the nutritional value and potentially the overall flavor of the fudge.
Hoping that helps!
Can I use almond milk?
For the condensed milk we used coconut milk because it is thicker, so it doesn’t have to boil as long to thicken. It’s also got a better flavor for this recipe. If you sub it out to use almond milk, just know you’ll need to simmer it longer.
Does the coconut milk taste like coconut? My husband will not eat it if it does.
Thank you
Yes, it does. I have substituted the coconut milk for the sweetened condensed milk by using 1 1/2 heavy cream instead. It turns out delicious!
Thank you! I’m making this! Yum!
Yay! You’re so welcome! Enjoy!
Can you use stevia instead of Swerve?
You sure can! Make sure you look at this conversion chart.
Where do you find these products unsweetened condensed milk?
You can find the recipe for the unsweetened condensed milk here.
I just made this and my husband said it’s the best fudge he’s ever had! I agree it is so smooth and rich but not too sweet. Thank you for such a good recipe
Awesome! You’re very welcome, Trish! So happy to hear this recipe was a hit! 💞
what is the purpose of adding granulated sweetener at the end? Won’t it add a gritty texture since it isn’t heated to dissolve?
Great question! The Swerve is added at the end to potentially avoid overheating it and causing crystallization; but when the chocolate is still warm enough to allow it to dissolve. However, you could also try this recipe and omitting it altogether, as another Hip sidekick mentioned she would opt for this since the condensed milk and chocolate chips may give enough of a sweetness to the final product! Let us know what you think, if you give this recipe a try! 🥰
