California Walnuts
I was lucky enough to receive a box of delicious California Walnuts and immediately thought to make some keto fudge. They are having a recipe contest (#WalnutsSweetOrSavory) so I decided to enter this recipe because walnuts are the prime ingredient.
I love walnuts for my low carb recipes because:
- they are low carb
- but have a good amount of protein (4g/oz) and fiber (2g/oz)
- they are the only nut to contain an excellent source of plant-based omega-3 ALA (2.5g/oz)
- walnuts are a versatile snack and can satisfy any taste preference, from savory (think cauliflower rice pilaf) to sweet (freezer fudge)

The 5 Ingredients I Used
Of course I used raw California walnuts as well as Swerve sweetener, Divine cocoa powder, butter and ChocoZero chocolate chips. As I mentioned above this chocolate fudge is just as good without the chocolate chips so if you don’t have them, you can skip them.
Also I use Divine cocoa powder because it has less carbs than regular cocoa powder. Guittard cocoa powder is another good brand but of course you can always use regular cocoa powder.
Let’s make Some Double Chocolate Keto Fudge
First thing to do is add the walnuts to a food processor. This is going to take a few minutes. Below you can see what happens as you process the walnuts. First it gets sticky and crumbly, but the more you process and scrape down the sides, it will eventually look like a thick nut butter. It actually looks like hummus to me.
Then you add in the cocoa powder, sweetener and butter (see bottom left picture above). Now you want to add a piece of wax paper or parchment paper to cover the bottom of your dish but to also hang over the sides (see bottom right picture above).
Spread the fudge batter out and smooth with a spoon. Take the chocolate chips and sprinkle evenly over top and press down into the fudge. Now just place in the freezer for 2 hours and you are done!
How To Store Your Sugar Free Fudge
First of all to cut the fudge, just lift it out with the wax paper and you can cut it into pieces. From there you can store your fudge in a baggie or a sealed container.
I like to keep my fudge in the freezer but you can also store in the refrigerator. I would not keep it out because it could get too soft and mushy.
My father in law is diabetic and loves sweets so this never lasts long in my house. This particular flavor was a favorite for my whole family. Even my son and husband who doesn’t like sweets, enjoyed it.

Janet
Would it be possible/OK to melt the chips and mix them into the fudge rather than leave them whole on the top?
Denise
Hi Janet, I don’t see why not. Please let me know how it goes if you do it. Good luck!
ChapelHillBetsy
Does this fudge have that cooling effect that many keto sweets have? I have given up baking keto treats until I can find a way to bake them that don’t have that cooling sensation when I eat them.
Denise
Hi Betsy I don’t believe that it does but it’s been a while since I’ve made it. And I definitely know what you mead about the cooling effect. To me it seems worse with some sweeteners than others. I love Swerve myself and find the brown sugar to be the best. But in this recipe I think because there is a high level of fat that it cuts down on the cooling effect. I’m just guessing though.
There is someone in this post that has alot of tips about baking and cooking and how to lower the cooling taste. Check it out if you are interested.

You get all the yummmms for this recipe! It sounds heavenly and looks positively scrumptious! Thank you so much for sharing!
Alice | SkinnySpatula
These brownies certainly don’t look like they are sugar-free. I love how fudgy they are!
Denise
Thanks Alice….but just so you know this is fudge and not brownies. 🙂
Sharon
This keto fudge lets my get give my chocolate cravings a treat without the guilt.
Denise
Exactly!
Jack
I’m not dark chocolate fan and have been disappointed with similar recipes being too dark. How’s this one really looking for one that’s more milk chocolate than dark.
Denise
Hi Jack, dark chocolate usually contains a higher amount of cocoa and milk chocolate tends to have more milk solids. What you could do it use the ChocZero milk chocolate chips to give this more of a milk chocolate flavor. Aside from that you are getting the chocolate flavor mainly from the cocoa so that might make it too dark chocolate for you. Good luck!
Tammy
Ahh these look SO good!!! I love how fudgy and rich plus they are keto – that’s a win/win! Perfect no-bake treat to keep on hand 😀
Cheryl L Dillenbeck
Could I make this with pecans or almonds?
Denise
Hi Cheryl, it does work best with walnut but it should work with either the almonds or pecans. Just keep processing them until they make a nut butter. It may take a few more minutes than the walnuts.
Aleta
Double YUM! What a great recipe! I love that the base is made with walnuts – such a great idea, and an amazing keto recipe to add to our collection!
