5 Minute Peppermint Fudge (Paleo, Keto)

Dec 22, 2019 · 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This 5 Minute Peppermint Fudge is the easiest holiday recipe!  It is Paleo, Keto and can be made Vegan by eliminating the collagen.  It is a healthy dark chocolate fudge that you'll want to make again and again!

So, I feel like I've been bombarding you all with fudge recipes.  But, then I realized that I don't actually have that many fudge recipes on my site.  I just make fudge ALL THE TIME!  Seriously, it is my go-to healthy Paleo and Keto dessert.

Since this easy peppermint fudge has been on heavy rotation at my house (I made it three times one week), I figured it must make it to the blog.  This recipe is:

  • Paleo, Keto and Vegan
  • low in sugar, depending on the chocolate you use
  • only 3 ingredients
  • made without condensed milk
  • a great non-dairy Christmas treat
  • extremely easy to make

Seriously, if you're looking for a not-too-sweet fudge that still tastes amazing, this is the one to try!  Not to mention, peppermint is a big deal this time of year 😉  So this no fail 5 minute fudge recipe is a MUST for the holidays.

Ingredients

This is a 3 ingredient mint fudge recipe.  Yes, four ingredients are listed, but the collagen is optional.  I've made this recipe with and without collagen and it still gets eaten within a day...meaning it still tastes amazing!

  • dark chocolate
  • almond butter
  • collagen (optional, omit for Vegan)
  • peppermint flavoring

Chocolate

The sugar content can be varied, depending on the type of chocolate used.  I like using 88-90% dark chocolate bars or keto chocolate chips.  In addition, for a great Paleo chocolate try Hu Gems.

Almond Butter

This recipe contains almond butter,  but any nut or seed butter will work.  For example, I use tahini in my Bone Broth Protein Fudge and sunflower seed butter in my Allergy Free Fudge recipe.

Collagen

Collagen is not required and must be omitted to make this recipe Vegan friendly.  It increases the protein and nutritional content of the fudge but doesn't change the texture or flavor by much.

Peppermint Flavoring

This recipe uses peppermint flavoring rather than peppermint oil.  Personally, I prefer the taste of peppermint flavoring.  Peppermint oil is much, much stronger and has more of a bite to it.  If using oil instead of the flavoring, be sure to lower the dose.  A little goes a long way!

How to Make Chocolate Peppermint Fudge

This keto peppermint fudge takes just five minutes to make.  Here's what you need to do:

First, line an 8" x 4" pan with foil.  Foil works best for easy removal of the fudge.  A large pan may be used, but the fudge won't be as thick.  Another option is doubling the recipe.

Next, melt the chocolate over low heat in a small sauce pan.  Stir frequently, until the chocolate is fully melted.  Then, turn off the heat and add the remaining ingredients.

Pour the fudge into the lined pan and place in the freezer set.  Optional: add toppings such as flaked sea salt, sprinkles, chopped nuts, etc.

The fudge requires about 1 hour in the freezer to fully set. After the fudge has set, remove it from the freezer and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

Note: if you freeze the fudge longer than one hour let it thaw at room temperature for 10-20 minutes before cutting into it. This ensures a smoother, cleaner cut.
