Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Peanut Butter Fudge
Yazar: admin September 6, 2008
I wanted to do a new low carb video to welcome in the new year. These were a big hit at all my holiday family functions even with my non-low carbing family members. Most never new they were eating low carb fudge.
The original recipe can be found here: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/peanut_butter_fudge.html
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter
2 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup Splenda
2/3 cup Vanilla Whey protein powder
* Microwave the butter and peanut butter on HIGH for 1 minutes; mix thoroughly.
* Mix in the cream chees
* Add the Splenda and the whey protein powder until well combined.
* Line a 8 x 8″ baking pan with nonstick foil. Spread the fudge and press out with another nonstick piece of foil or plastic wrap.
* Chill for one hour.
Makes around 20 pieces.

That brand was the …
That brand was the Archer Farms (Target) brand, but Smuckers makes a good Natural peanut butter as well. Just look for a “Natural” peanut butter, and then check the ingredients for just peanuts, salt, and oil (some will have additional oil added).
what brand is your …
what brand is your peanut butter? where did you get it?
oh thank …
oh thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! i have not been eating anything sweet because I didn’t think I could find any, but this is fabulous!
As for the …
As for the chocolate topping, the problem with most low carb chocolate is that they are not room temp stable and required to be chilled if not frozen. I did come up with a thought that the low carb chocolate bark recipe (basically Coconut Oil and unsweetened cocoa powder) could be used to pour over top. You would have to freeze afterwords, but once set I think it would stay stable in the fridge.
I have two recipes …
I have two recipes for stuffing - one that Induction legal and one that is for later stages of Atkins. It comes down to what you think stuffing is - meat stuffing or cornbread stuffing ala Stovetop. When I was growing up, we had both kinds.
Low carb ice cream is actually REALLY easy. Look for a recipe called Ziplock Ice Cream, and substitute 0-cal sweetener for sugar. The video I would make would look like an exercise video with the shaking. I am planning low carb Panna Cotta video.
this is the best …
this is the best recipe. I’d like to make a chocolate icing for it and make Peantbutter cups, there it might need the salted butter. Any idea how to make a chocolate that would hold it’s shape and layer this in between like a Reeces?
I love your cooking shows, quality food and easy.
I miss stuffing, can you come up with a mock stuffing, like for the holidays? Will you do one for a low carb ice cream, too?
Yes, I have …
Yes, I have received good reports of someone doing just that.
Is it possible to …
Is it possible to use chocolate Whey Protein instead of Vanilla?
It’s what gives the …
It’s what gives the “fudge” its consistency and bulk.
I love this recipe! …
I love this recipe! I have a major sweet tooth and I am looking forward to making this.
What does the Whey Protein do? I have never used it.
bowulf you are the …
bowulf you are the man!
I found the …
I found the original recipe delicious. I made a chocolate version substituting hazelnut butter, using Chocolate Whey Protein and added 2 tblsp. of cocoa powder. I don’t find 1 cup of splenda to be too much. There’s nothing as individual as personal taste.
I am always glad to …
I am always glad to hear alternatives… Reducing the butter should also lower the piece Calorie count.
I am glad you liked …
I am glad you liked it!

Cool Variation
Use Chock Whey Protein, Add 2 Tbs Flax Meal, 1/2 cup Splenda or 3/4 cup if 1 cup is too sweet for you. Good Stuff.
I use 2 TBS butter instead of 1/2 cup and they are not so slippery :). Glass pan works good instead of foil too.

i ended up using 2 of the squares for a mini cheesecake crust it was delicious!

If you check the video notes to the right of most of my recipe videos, you’ll find them there. This one’s nutritional info is:

Thank you for your …
Thank you for your recipe. It sounds very good. I don’t think you mentioned how many carbs are in each square. I would appreciate it if you let me know.
Thanks again!!
I would recommend …
I would recommend something that says Natural Peanut Butter with peanuts, salt, and oil as the only ingredients. That Peanut Butter you suggest seems a bit high in Sugar content for just that.
Haven’t seen your …
Haven’t seen your peanut butter video yet, so thought I’d ask:
Would a peanut butter like SnacLite Power PB, with it’s 4 grams of sugar and 8 grams of net carbs, be ok to use? If not, what do you suggest?
Glad you liked the …
Glad you liked the recipe.
Thanks for the …
Thanks for the comments. It’s recipes like these that make it that much easier to do the diet and never feel “left out” when others are partaking of treats.
Thank you very much …
Thank you very much for the recipe!
My daughter and I are looking for great peanut butter fudge, and when I started my search, I had no idea I would find a recipe like this.
It is the best of both worlds.
I remember you from …
