Low Carb Mint Chocolate Chip Fudge

This sugar free low carb mint chocolate chip fudge has only 0.7 grams net carbs per square. It’s a sweet treat that can be enjoyed by those on a keto diet.

Fudge is one of my most favorite low carb treats. But, I don’t make it that often because it’s so good that it’s hard for me to watch my portions.

To treat myself on Mother’s Day, I made cheesecake brownies and this mint chocolate chip fudge. It took me a couple tries to get the texture of this fudge just right, but I nailed it on the second try.

Over the last few months, I’ve been experimenting with low carb products from LC Foods. They have a huge selection of low carb specialty products at reasonable prices.

When you are a busy working mom like me, it’s not always easy to find the time to make your own low carb foods.

LC Foods has everything you would ever want like fresh baked breads, baking essentials, convenient mixes, and low carb books and supplies.

At the time of this writing, flat rate shipping is only $4.95 if you order over $50 and the shipping is free for orders over $100.

I like to stock up on low carb products from LC Foods every few months to take advantage of the free shipping.

LC Foods produces are also available on Amazon, but the prices are typically cheaper if you order directly from the LC Foods website at HoldTheCarbs.com.

One of the items I purchased in my last order was the Low Carb Sweetened Condensed Milk Mix. The bag has been sitting in my pantry for over a month so I decided to break it open and use it to make sugar free low carb mint chocolate chip fudge.

I didn’t bother to actually use the mix to make condensed milk first. Instead, I added the dry mix in with a couple of the ingredients called for on the bag to make the condensed milk.

On my first try, I added the full amount of water called for on the bag and the fudge came out way too soft.

So, on my second try I only used half the water and used SweetLeaf vanilla cream flavored stevia drops so I could omit the vanilla extract.

I also increased the amount of whey protein to a full scoop. The second batch resulted in a firmer fudge that had a texture similar to what you’d get using regular sweetened condensed milk.

You may be wondering what the ingredients are in LC Foods Sweetened Condensed Milk mix.

The great thing is that all the product labels are available on the LC Foods website so you can see the full ingredient list as well as nutritional information for each product.

The LC Foods Sweetened Condensed Milk mix contains the following ingredients: milk protein isolates, whey protein isolates, Inulin (chicory root) fiber, natural vegetable & plant gums, salt, organic stevia rebaudiana leaf extract, natural luo han guo monk fruit extract.

I suppose you could come up with your own mix for low carb sweetened condensed milk using the same or similar ingredients. It would take some experimenting to get it just right, though.

Personally, I wouldn’t bother. LC Foods has already done all the testing with their wonderful low carb products. So, what are you waiting for? Go and check out the LC Foods website.

I also recommend the fresh baked low carb New York style bagels. They are amazing!
