Me and cookie dough go waaaay back. My first cooking memories are of me standing on a kitchen chair so I could reach the counter to stir chocolate chips into cookie dough. I was maybe four. And like most kids, it would go: a chip for me, one for the bowl, lol. And then a fingerful of dough (because for some reason back in the 80s raw eggs didn’t seem to scare us as much?). Oh yes, I have very fond memories of cookie dough.

This Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge is a protein-rich, low-carb way for me to satisfy my cookie dough cravings while staying on-point with my nutrition goals. You’ll be surprised at how much it really tastes like cookie dough! I store it in the freezer, but I like to let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving for real cookie dough consistency.

How to Make Fudge

Fudge is a type of candy traditionally made from sugar, butter, and milk that are heated to soft-ball stage, and then beaten while cooling. Chocolate is a very popular flavor, and mix-ins, such as nuts or candy, are also common. Cooking sugar to the soft-ball stage is the method for making old-fashioned fudge, but there are a lot of other fudge-making methods.

Instead of cooking sugar to the soft-ball stage, some recipes call for using marshmallows or sweetened condensed milk (which is cooked down milk and sugar). Additionally, some recipes also call for corn syrup to sugar to help prevent sugar crystallization.

How to Make Easy Fudge

The easiest way to make homemade fudge is to use sweetened condensed milk. Melt it with the right proportion of white, milk, or dark chocolate and you have fudge! And you can even melt it in the microwave (or use a double boiler). You can easily customize this easy fudge any way you like with different flavor extracts (vanilla, peppermint, coconut, etc.) and mix-ins (coconut, nuts, dried fruit, etc.).

How to Make Healthy Fudge

Healthy fudge is another story! Typically, sugar is what we want to avoid, so we have to come up with an alternative that will still yield a soft, creamy candy.

Through a lot of experimentation, here are a few different ingredients I’ve found that work well as the base to make healthy fudge:

  • Unsweetened nut butter, such as macadamia or pecan
  • Cacao butter
  • Coconut manna
  • Dark chocolate
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Almond flour
  • Coconut flour
  • Collagen peptides
  • Whey protein powder

Note that you don’t need to use all of these ingredients in a single recipe! In my Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge I used a combination of nut butter, whey protein powder, almond flour, and coconut flour as the base.

Cookie Dough Fudge Without White Chocolate

A lot of cookie dough fudge recipes use white chocolate as the base because it’s a natural choice when you don’t want a regular chocolate fudge. But a lot of people don’t like the flavor of white chocolate! For my Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge I didn’t use white chocolate or cacao butter (which is used to make white chocolate), so there is no flavor of white chocolate. I used a combination of vanilla and almond extracts to get a cookie dough flavor.

Cookie Dough Fudge Without Flour

Another common ingredient in cookie dough fudge is all-purpose flour. The first issue with all-purpose flour in fudge is that the flour can have a raw, sort-of gummy flavor. The second potential problem with flour in fudge is that if you’re looking for a classic fudgy texture, flour isn’t necessarily the way to go. Not to mention, if you want a healthier fudge, all-purpose flour may not be the best option because it’s high in carbs (and it also contains gluten, which is an issue for a lot of people).

My Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge doesn’t use all-purpose flour! Instead, I use nutrient-rich flour options that are free of gluten and lower in carbs: almond flour and coconut flour.

No Cook Fudge

Most no cook fudge recipes use a microwave or double boiler to melt together chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. My recipe for Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge doesn’t even require that step! To make this fudge, the only ingredient that needs to be heated is water.

What is Freezer Fudge?

Freezer fudge is typically a healthier fudge than traditional fudge. It doesn’t usually have sugar, so it uses other ingredients, such as nut butter, for the base. This type of fudge needs to chill to fully set, and it’s commonly either chilled in the freezer until set and/or stored in the freezer.

Ingredients in Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge:

  • Lakanto Monkfruit Sweetener Golden
  • Naked Whey Protein Powder
  • Water
  • Unsweetened runny pecan butter
  • Pure vanilla extract
  • Pure almond extract
  • Stevia glycerite
  • Almond flour
  • Coconut flour
  • Salt
  • Old-fashioned rolled oats
  • Stevia-sweetened chocolate chips

How to Make Freezer Fudge

To make my Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Freezer Fudge, I first dissolve the sweetener in boiling water and then beat it with whey protein powder. After that, I add all other ingredients and mix until smooth. It couldn’t be easier to make!

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️
