Sugar Free Pistachio Chocolate Fudge (Low Carb)

Let me tell you about my latest obsession—this unbelievably rich Sugar Free Pistachio Chocolate Fudge that somehow manages to be low carb AND satisfy my deepest chocolate cravings. I swear, the first time I made it, I kept sneaking back to the fridge for “just one more piece” until half the batch disappeared. The magic? Creamy chocolate, crunchy pistachios, and zero guilt. It’s the kind of dessert that makes you do a happy dance—no sugar crash, just pure, nutty chocolate bliss. Perfect for when you need that fancy treat feeling without breaking your healthy eating streak. Trust me, your taste buds won’t believe it’s sugar-free!

Why You’ll Love This Sugar Free Pistachio Chocolate Fudge

This fudge is my go-to when I need a quick, decadent treat without the guilt. Here’s why it’s a winner:

  • Creamy dreamy texture – The coconut oil and heavy cream make it melt-in-your-mouth smooth
  • Zero refined sugar – Sweetened naturally with erythritol so you can indulge without the crash
  • So easy – Just blend, melt, mix, and chill – no baking required!
  • Keto-friendly – At just 5g net carbs per piece, it fits low-carb lifestyles perfectly
  • Cravings crusher – That chocolate-pistachio combo hits all the right sweet and salty notes

Honestly, I keep a batch in my fridge at all times for those “I need chocolate NOW” moments!

Sugar Free Pistachio Chocolate Fudge Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this dreamy fudge happen:

  • 1 cup unsalted pistachios, shelled – Trust me, shelling them yourself means fresher flavor!
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips – I use Lily’s dark chocolate for that deep cocoa hit
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil – Melted and slightly cooled so it blends smoothly
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream – The secret to that velvety texture
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – Pure vanilla makes all the difference
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol – No weird aftertaste, I promise!
  • Pinch of salt – Just enough to make the flavors pop

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

No pistachios? Try sunflower seeds for a nut-free version. Out of heavy cream? Almond milk works (though it’ll be less creamy). If erythritol isn’t your thing, monk fruit sweetener blends beautifully. And hey – feel free to swap dark chocolate chips for milk chocolate if that’s your jam!

How to Make Sugar Free Pistachio Chocolate Fudge

Okay, let’s dive into the fun part! This fudge comes together so fast you’ll barely have time to lick the spoon (though I highly recommend it). The key is taking it step by step – and resisting the urge to eat the mixture before it sets! You’ll need about 15 minutes of active time, then just let the fridge work its magic. Here’s how we do it:

Step-by-Step Instructions

First, grab your food processor and pulse those pistachios until they’re finely chopped – you want little green flecks, not dust! Meanwhile, line your 8×8 inch dish with parchment paper; leave some overhang so you can lift the fudge out later. Now the chocolate: microwave those chips with coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring well between each. Seriously – don’t walk away! Chocolate burns fast, and we want it smooth as silk.

Once melted, stir in the cream, vanilla, erythritol and salt until it’s all glossy and dreamy. Now fold in those gorgeous pistachios – the batter will thicken immediately. Pour it into your prepared dish, smooth the top, and here’s the hard part: walk away for at least 2 hours while it chills. I know, torture! But it’s worth the wait when you slice into those perfect squares.

Tips for Perfect Sugar Free Pistachio Chocolate Fudge

Line your dish REALLY well – nothing worse than fudge sticking! Chop pistachios evenly so every bite gets crunch. Taste the mix before chilling – you can always add more sweetener. And for clean cuts? Run your knife under hot water between slices. Voila – fudge magic!

Serving and Storing Sugar Free Pistachio Chocolate Fudge

Here’s how I enjoy this fudge: cut into 12 little squares (okay, sometimes I make them bigger – no judgment!) and serve with a hot cup of coffee. The bitter coffee makes the chocolate taste even richer! Store leftovers (if you have any!) in an airtight container in the fridge. It keeps beautifully for about a week – if you can resist eating it all by then!

Sugar Free Pistachio Chocolate Fudge Variations

Oh, the possibilities with this fudge! Sometimes I sprinkle flaky sea salt on top right before chilling—that salty-sweet combo is *chef’s kiss*. Feeling fancy? Mix in cocoa nibs for extra crunch. If dark chocolate’s too intense for you, swap in sugar-free milk chocolate chips instead. Or go wild and layer in some sugar-free caramel between the pistachios—just don’t blame me when you can’t stop eating it!

Nutritional Information

Just so you know – these numbers are estimates (ingredient brands vary, and let’s be real, my “1-inch square” cuts aren’t always exact!). But per piece, you’re looking at roughly:

  • 120 calories
  • 5g net carbs (thanks to that fiber-rich erythritol!)
  • 10g fat (the good kind from pistachios and coconut oil)
  • 3g protein – bonus!

Not bad for something that tastes like dessert heaven, right?

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze this sugar free pistachio chocolate fudge?
Absolutely! Just wrap individual pieces tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight – it tastes just as amazing!

Is erythritol really necessary?
Not strictly, but it gives the best sugar-free texture without weird aftertastes. If you prefer, monk fruit sweetener works too – just use about 25% less since it’s sweeter!

My fudge turned out too soft – what went wrong?
Oh no! Usually means the chocolate mixture wasn’t cooled enough before adding pistachios, or it didn’t chill long enough. Pop it back in the fridge for another hour – should firm right up!

Can I make this dairy-free?
You bet! Swap heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk (the canned kind) and use dairy-free chocolate chips. The texture might be slightly different but still delicious!

Alright, my fellow fudge enthusiasts – I need you to do me a favor. Make this Sugar Free Pistachio Chocolate Fudge ASAP and tell me all about it in the comments!

Seriously though, I want to hear your fudge-making adventures – the triumphs, the oops moments, and especially those “oh wow this is actually sugar-free?!” reactions. Your feedback helps me create more of these guilt-free goodies we all love. Now get blending, melting, and most importantly – enjoying!
