Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 2 ounces (56 grams) Baker’s unsweetened chocolate
- ½ cup (113 grams) butter, salted
Sweeteners:
- ½ cup Splenda or Stevia (or any sweetener of your choice)
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gently liquefy butter and unsweetened chocolate in a small saucepan over minimal heat, stirring consistently to prevent scorching and ensure uniform melting.
- Remove melted chocolate mixture from heat and incorporate vanilla extract and preferred sweetener, mixing thoroughly until completely integrated.
- Transfer softened cream cheese into a spacious mixing bowl, then cascade the warm chocolate blend directly over the cream cheese.
- Utilize a hand mixer to whip the ingredients, blending for approximately two minutes until the mixture transforms into a silky, homogeneous consistency.
- Prepare a compact baking vessel by lightly greasing its interior, then pour the fudge mixture, carefully distributing it to create an even layer.
- Position the pan in the freezer and allow the fudge to solidify for roughly one hour, monitoring until it reaches a firm, sliceable texture.
- Once completely set, partition the fudge into uniform squares using a sharp knife.
- For optimal enjoyment, store remaining portions in the freezer for a more rigid composition or refrigerate for a softer, creamier consistency.
Notes
- Melt chocolate and butter slowly to prevent burning, stirring constantly for smooth consistency.
- Softened cream cheese ensures a creamy, lump-free fudge texture when blended with warm chocolate.
- Use a hand mixer for 2 minutes to create a perfectly smooth and homogeneous fudge mixture.
- Freezing helps set the fudge quickly and provides a firm, easy-to-cut texture.
- Storing in the freezer maintains a harder consistency, while refrigeration keeps it softer and more delicate.
- Choose your preferred low-carb sweetener to customize the flavor and keep the recipe diabetic-friendly.
