Tips for the perfect Healthy Chocolate Fudge without Heavy Cream
- Make sure you use room temperature runny nut butter since a hard one out of the fridge won’t combine well.
- Heat pot on low so the ingredients don’t burn.
- Let the ingredients completely combine until smooth before adding protein powder.
- Let the fudge harden before slicing since it will be fairly difficult to do this at room temperature.

Suuuuper easy to make! I used Stevia instead of monk fruit. Also, I’d lessen the amount of cocoa powder next time (personal preference) because it was definitely similar to dark chocolate flavor and I don’t love dark chocolate! I also doubled the recipe and have been eating on it all weekend. Cover before putting in the fridge for an extended period though!
Haylee Jane Monteiro says
Yayyy! I am so glad you liked the recipe! Yeah reducing cacao powder would make it a little less dark and certainly something one can customize 🙂
Mati says
So I tried this and my fudge didn’t set even though it slept in the freezer overnight, but not all was lost because it turned into a really yummy high protein/low calorie chocolate spread! 5* for taste!
Haylee Jane Monteiro says
Hi Mati,
I’m so sorry the fudge didn’t set for you. Did you use a whey-casein protein powder as recommended? or was it a whey protein?
Whey absorbs less water than whey-casein, so the mixture might end up being too runny.
isa says
just did the recipe and the flavor is amazing, suuuper fudgy and chocolatey, absolutely delicious? the only thing i got disappointed was the portion size, i ended up with only 4 fudges and they were so thin… if you wanna do this recipe i suggest you to double the measure of the ingredients, just to be safe 🙂 anyways, i really enjoyed these!
Jillian says
Same here! For me it made 2 pieces!
Haylee Jane Monteiro says
I’m so happy you liked the Fudge Isa! I ended up making thinner pieces to keep the calorie count low, but definitely ate more than one at a time.
Double batching the recipe is a great idea! <3
J.F. says
What size pan do you use? Thank you =)
Haylee Jane Monteiro says
I used a standard loaf pan, but only used half of it to get thicker pieces 🙂
Joy says
Are the listed ingredient amounts correct? Only 1 tablespoon of peanut butter?
Haylee Jane Monteiro says
Hi Joy! I’m so excited you want to try out this recipe. Yes, that’s right. Its just a single tablespoon on PB. The chocolate flavor is quite rich but this ratio is perfect.
Can’t wait to know what you think if you try it out!
