This easy slow cooker fudge is the best Sugar-Free Dairy Free Low Carb Keto Fudge you will ever try and couldn’t be any easier or more delicious! Stove top directions included.
Easy Crock Pot Fudge
This Easy Sugar-Free Fudge recipe is made with just 5 simple ingredients and in the Slow Cooker! You can’t beat an easier dessert for a sweet tooth and for the summer time or for the Holidays!
I originally created this recipe in 2011 before I was even low carb and did use honey. You can use any sweetener you prefer but the full printable recipe on the recipe card below is by far my favorite! It’s Keto, Gluten Free, and completely Sugar-Free so it’s a diabetic-friendly recipe!

Other Easy Desserts for the Holidays that make life less stressful are my Paleo Snowball Cookies, Peppermint Brownie Bark and White Chocolate Fudge and NO Bake Peppermint Bites!
My family asks for this fudge all year through, not just for the holidays! When I first made this recipe in 2011 it was before Lily’s Sweets created their amazing Sugar-Free Chocolate chips.
My orginial recipe also used carob chips which are naturally unsweetened, but Lily’s Chocolate Chips are the perfect solution for a low carb fudge!
Low Carb Sweeteners
Although I’m not much of a fudge girl, my family loves it! I was inspired to make some after seeing a recipe from Skinny Crock Pot that seemed to be an easy recipe and simple to do and one that wouldn’t involve too much time on my part.
I adapted the original recipe to eliminate honey and make it with Stevia instead so it didn’t spike my own blood glucose levels.
Although it is a bit sticky to the touch, it IS delicious and everyone who tried it couldn’t believe it was sugar-free and dairy free! Of course you could still use honey or maple syrup, but not having tried it that way I can not comment on taste or texture.
Please note that changing any ingredients from my recipe below will alter the nutritional information on the recipe card.
A smaller crock pot, 3 or 4 quart will work better than a larger one. If you plan ahead and have the ingredients ready, you could make this for Christmas now and freeze until your ready to serve!
You could certainly add some chopped nuts within the fudge mixture before spreading into the dish and refrigerating. I will be a favorite sweet treat for the whole family!
OLD PIC Below from 2011!!!! Above pics are with Lily’s Sugar-Free Chocolate chips.
Can I use fresh coconut milk instead of canned?
UPDATE: May 2014: Recently I tried this recipe using fresh coconut milk from Silk and it was phenomenal. In fact I think even better than using canned coconut milk and again made with sugar-free chocolate chips as mentioned. A big hit with my entire family!
Can I use coconut oil instead of coconut milk?
I would not recommend swapping coconut oil for the coconut milk because it will be quite greasy and not creamy homemade fudge.
Can I use cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips?
No I do not recommend swapping the sugar free chocolate chips with unsweetened cocoa powder because the chocolate chips are sweetened with low carb sweetener so you would need to add quite a lot of sweetener and I think the end result would also be very dry because of the cocoa powder.
Can I swap the coconut milk with dairy milk?
Yes you could swap the coconut milk with whole milk if you don’t need the fudge to be dairy free, You could also heavy cream
Can I use unsweetened chocolate?
You can use unsweetened chocolate if you prefer but you will have to add a significant amount of sweetener to make it taste like a traditional fudge recipe.
Creamy Keto Fudge Recipe
This dairy-free fudge may be sweet enough for you with just the sugar-free chocolate chips.
Typically those who are not on a low carb diet are used to very sweet type dark chocolate fudge, so if you are making this for others I would suggest adding in additional sweetener as I did in the video.
Chocolate Liquid Stevia would be fantastic here but I do love my Vanilla Creme Stevia the best.
This recipe was first published on my blog in December of 2011.
