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!

Instagram post 2197323051132172989_193133428 After a trip to London a couple years ago, I came home in love with buttermints. 😍 Buttermint candy was so different there than what I was familiar with (it wasn't the soft, colorful peppermint bites that we have here). It was more similar to a mellow-flavored peppermint patty (yuuuuum!); it had a thin layer of chocolate coating a creamy mint/vanilla/butter-flavored interior. I wasn't able to find that candy anywhere after that, but I did what I do and replicated the flavor into a keto treat, lol. 😋👏🏻 Chocolate + mint is one of my favorite holiday flavor combinations and in this light + fluffy cheesecake mousse, it's absolutely perfect. 🙌🏻

Instagram post 2195848590159668337_193133428 When my ex-husband and I were first married there was a time when we had literally no money. We were living in Amman, Jordan at the time. We had a single can of tuna to eat and not even a can opener to open it. I was a baby, still in law school, and he was also a student. I remember being so ridiculously happy though, laughing as he used a knife to pry the can of tuna open. (And that was the best can of tuna I've ever tasted, lol!) We ended up going to stay with his family in Damascus, Syria.
.
One of the memories that sticks out to me most from my time in Damascus is a taxi ride home. We had been at the market all afternoon and it was rush hour. Taxis were full and it was a very long walk home.
.
Finally we were able to hail a taxi, and the driver asked if it was ok that his daughter was asleep in the backseat. My ex took the front seat and I got in the back. The little girl, about 2 years old, lifted her blonde curly head inquisitively, looked at me with big blue eyes, smiled sleepily, and nestled her head into my lap.
.
On the way home they chatted in the front seat (in Arabic, so I only picked up bits and pieces of the conversation), and it was only later that Mike told me the taxi driver had several kids and was having trouble making ends meet.
.
The driver refused to take money for the ride home, saying I was a guest in their country. And not only that, but he invited us to his home for lunch (lunch in the Middle East means a spread of no less than 10 homemade dishes; it's an ordeal, and it's how you show respect and honor to a guest). That level of hospitality is so unprecedented and unwarranted, and completely humbling to me.
.
Two things I learned from that: 1) happiness is a choice that has absolutely nothing to do with circumstances and 2) you don't need to have extra to share with someone else. I'm convinced that in the end, #kindness is the only thing that means anything. ❤️
