Best in Diabetic Fudge
Ingredients:
- 28 grams of unsweetened baking chocolate
- 2/3 cup of any natural sugar replacement
- 2 tbsp. water
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 stick of butter
- 2 tbsp. cream
Instructions:
Break the chocolate into small pieces, place it in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in the microwave (on high) for a minute. The chocolate should be softened or almost melted, if not heat more, but not too much because the chocolate can become scorched. When done, set aside.
Combine the sugar and water in another microwave-safe bowl. Stir together until completely mixed. Heat this in the microwave (on high) for a minute as well, or just until the mixture boils. Remember this mixture will boil over easily if you heat for too long.
When this is done, spoon the chocolate into the sugar mixture and stir it until it is well blended. Now cut the butter into several pieces before adding that as well. Stir until well-mixed and melted. Next, stir in the vanilla and the cream until it is well blended too.
Finally, place the mixture in the freezer for 30 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and solid, but still soft enough to spread out. Use cooking spray to coat a plate. Spoon the fudge into it and spread out to a desired thickness. Use a spoon to spread the top and place the plate into the refrigerator for 2 hours. Afterwards it should be firm enough to slice and serve.
