How to Make Keto Almond Joy Fudge
Ingredients
4 ounces unsweetened Baker’s Chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup Keto/Low Carb Sweetened Condensed Milk (see my recipe here)
1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup Swerve confectioners
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup almonds, chopped
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325F.
Spread out chopped almonds on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5 minutes or until just slightly golden. Remove and allow to cool. Add the shredded coconut to a mini chopped and process until finely shredded.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, add in all the ingredients except the almonds, coconut and vanilla extracts.
Stirring constantly, melt the chocolate, butter and mascarpone cheese.
Once melted and well combined, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and coconut extracts.
Pour the mixture into a 9″ x 9″ glass dish that is lined with parchment paper (for easy removal).
Pour the chopped almonds over the top and allow to chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight, until fully set.
Cut into small squares and serve! Store leftovers in the fridge for a few days or in the freezer.
Note: This is not a super dense or rich fudge. It has the perfect balance of sweetness and great texture from the creamy chocolate and the crunchy almonds.
I use my Sugar Free Sweetened Condensed Milk – Keto and Low Carb in this recipe. You can also use it to make popsicles, tarts, drizzle it over fresh berries, stir it in your tea or coffee.

What is the serving size? How many pieces per 9 x 9 pan is a serving size?
This was amazing. I had it saved off to the side of things, because it was a little time consuming (I made the sweetened condensed milk right before). So, I had the time, and off I went… I followed the recipe to “T” and seriously, everyone, from the 13 year old, to me (the 52 year old) have dubbed this a hit. I let it cool a little bit before adding coconut and toasted almonds to the top, so they didn’t sink in, and I ended up with a beautiful soft fudge, with this amazing topping.
