Notes
What's The Best Fat Source
- Coconut oil- If you choose to use coconut oil there will be a coconut taste. Not to mention coconut oil is liquid when heated and solid at room temperature. But unless it's cold, it's not rock hard. So, in turn your fudge may leave residue and melt in you hand.
- Butter- Butter is a good option, it will bring a shiny fudge and that amazing flavor butter brings. As you know butter is semi-solid when cold. The fudge will get somewhat hard but not really. And it takes little heat for butter to begin to melt. But, if you want to double these as a frozen treat butter is a great option.
- Cacao/cocoa butter- This is the best option to me, but the trickiest. Chocolate has crystals that are disrupted when introduced to heat which is why it has to be tempered. If using cacao butter wait until the very end when the fudge has cooled some then add it in and allow it to melt slowly. When tempered correctly this gives the most shelf stable keto fudge out if the three.
