Your New Secret Weapon for Low-Carb Desserts
🌟 Why This Recipe Works
Creamy. Chocolatey. 3g net carbs per serving. This hot fudge proves you don’t need sugar to make magic. Let’s break down why it’s special:
| Traditional Hot Fudge | Keto Version |
|---|---|
| 25g sugar per tbsp | 0g sugar |
| Grainy texture | Silky smooth |
| Energy crashes | Sustained energy |
🛒 Grocery List Made Simple
Gather these 6 easy ingredients:
- Unsweetened cocoa powder (1/2 cup) – The chocolate star!
- Heavy cream (1 cup) – Makes it rich and creamy.
- Butter (4 tbsp) – For that melt-in-your-mouth feel.
- Allulose (1/2 cup) – Won’t make sauce gritty like other sweeteners.
- Vanilla extract (1 tsp) – Flavor booster!
- Salt (1/4 tsp) – Makes chocolate taste bolder.
Pro Tip: Can’t find allulose? Use powdered erythritol, but your sauce might thicken more when chilled.

💡 Pro Tips from My Kitchen

- Low heat is key – Chocolate burns faster than you think!
- Stir like it’s your job – Prevents clumps and scorching
- Taste as you go – Adjust sweetness after cooling slightly

Your turn! Will you try the classic version first or jump to the coffee twist? Either way, keep that spoon ready – this sauce disappears fast!
