🔪 How to Make Daisy Low-Carb Cream Cheese Fudge
Step 1: Melt chocolate and butter
Start by adding your butter and chocolate into a small saucepan on the stove and melt on low heat.
Step 2: Add Sweetener and Vanilla
When the chocolate is fully melted, stir in the vanilla and sweetener.
Step 3: Mix in Cream Cheese
Place the cream cheese in a bowl, and pour the chocolate mixture over the cream cheese. Use a hand mixer to whip it up.
Step 4: Freeze and Slice
Pour into a greased pan, and then freeze. Then, you can slice and serve.
📝Variations
- Change up the type of chocolate you use. Make sure you are using low-carb chocolate so that it keeps this a low-carb fudge. But you can use white chocolate, milk chocolate, etc.
- Mix in your favorite chopped nuts.
- Crush up low-carb sandwich cookies or your favorite peanut butter cup and fold it into the batter at the end of mixing.
- Mix in your mint extract instead of vanilla or other flavored extract for added flavor.
🥄 Equipment
- Small Saucepan
- 8×8 Pan
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon
🥫 Storage
You should store this fudge in a sealed container in the fridge. This will help ensure it doesn’t spoil. In an airtight container or sealed bag, the fudge will last around a week.
You can also freeze the fudge if you like. Place it in a sealed freezer bag or container and freeze for 1-2 months.
💭 Tips
- Ensure you allow the chocolate and butter to melt fully before adding the vanilla and sweetener.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the cream cheese in a bowl and let it sit for a minute before mixing.
- Make sure to use softened cream cheese to get a nice creamy texture.
- I used a hand mixer, but a stand mixer works well as well. You can mix by hand, but it will take a bit longer.
- Allow the fudge to freeze before you try to slice it up.
- This fudge needs to stay chilled, or it will soften up a bit.
⁉️ FAQ
You will use a sweetener to add sweetness to the fudge. You can use whichever sweetener you have on hand.
Yes, this is a keto-friendly fudge. If you want to alter any ingredients, go right ahead.
Go ahead and make a double or even a triple batch of the fudge if you like. Just use a larger pan or multiple smaller pans.

Wld love any low carbs recipes for sweets.
I just posted a low carb fudge recipe and will be posting more 🙂
Love your recipes
TY so much!
Love new, low carb recipes!
Thanks Connie!! I follow low carb lifestyle 🙂
By vanilla, do you mean vanilla extract? This looks so good and super easy, I think I am going to make some this weekend! Keep the fabulous LC recipes coming!
Yes. Not sure what recipe you mean but yes I would always mean vanilla extract
I was referring to the low carb cream cheese fudge. Thanks!
TY It is our favorite!!
I would love to know how many carbs there actually are in the cream cheese fudge.
It’s in the bottom of the recipe card of course it depends on how big or small you cut the fudge
Could I use coconut oil instead of butter, thought it might set a bit harder, am dying to give it a go
You could try it. We don’t like coconut oil enough to use it that way but it would set it fine I would think
This is my first time making this recipe. I have to say, all I could taste was the cream cheese. I ended up doubling the Splenda, and adding peanut butter to calm down the cream cheese taste.
I’ll make it again, with some more tweaking.
Dianna you could add more cocoa to it or less cream cheese. We like the sweet, tartness flavor since doing low carb or keto we don’t like really sweet things.
Like any recipe it is adaptable
Can you use cacao powder?? I have all the ingredients but bakers chocolate 😬😰 how would I make that work though
We have never made it with cocoa powder but I would think the consistency would not be as good
Melissa — I have successfully substituted cocoa powder for baking chocolate in many recipes. Use 3 T cocoa powder + 1 T butter or coconut oil.
Have you tried honey instead of of Splenda? I’m curious how it would turn out.
No we haven’t. This has always worked great for us so we have never changed it
Did you try it with honey ? How much did you use& did it taste good with it?
Tastes exactly like chocolate cheesecake to me. Very good. Maybe the name throws some people off expecting a more chocolate brownie flavor. I’m calling them chocolate cheesecake brownies lol. Thanks for sharing this easy delicious recipe.
So glad you enjoyed this! We really love this recipe and also use this as a frosting when we are trying to watch our carbs
Can’t wait to try this! I’m so excited, especially with Valentine’s being just around the corner.
I hope you enjoy. we always keep a batch in the freezer.
Wish to know if I could replace the diet splendra with a real sugar as we react negative to these diet products
Yes you can you can but then this wouldn’t be a low carb product.
Susan – have you tried Allulose? It’s a great low carb replacement for sugar. Amazon has the best price on non-gmo.
Did you use granular or confectioner sugar in the fudge?
No it’s low carb if you use those sugars it would defeat the purpose. The recipe card has the full low carb recipe
Hi! I can’t wait to try this fudge recipe. If I were going to make this peanut butter fudge, how much peanut butter should I mix in? Thanks in advance!
I would say 1/2 cup to get a chocolate peanut butter fudge. adding too much won’t let it set up as good and will keep it very soft
Hi, I’m going to use 1/2 cup of sugar, because I don’t like Splenda, Stevia or artificial sweeteners. I just like the idea that you’re using cream cheese and that it’ll taste more like a cheesecake. I also don’t care if it’s low carb or not.
If you’re are not worried about it being low carb that will work fine!
My husband ‘s new favorite fudge. Thanks for the recipe
You’re very welcome! We always have this in our freezer
This was so easy to make and delicious!
Thank you!😊
Thanks Andrea! We love this low crab fudge and always have some in our freezer 🙂
Delicous! I actually reduced the amount of sweetener as my fav snack is 90% dark chocolate. This stuff is so good!
So happy you liked it. We have some in the freezer at all times! 🙂
How many squares you usually cut the fudge into to come close to the nutritional units given?
we cut them into 24 pieces
Can this recipe be made with unsweetened cocoa powder? If so how much would be put in this recipe? Thank you for your time. ♥
We have only made it as written so don’t know about the adjustment you are trying to make. We don’t know if it would work or taste good.
Hi i want to make the creamy fudge recipe and wanted to know can i use Lily’s Baking chips? I was going to make a cake but saw the Low Carb cream cheese fudge and want to know if i can use the Lilys chocolate chips instead?
I think it would work but I have never tried it. We always make it as written
Can you use unsalted butter instead of salted
Yes but you will need to add some salt to offset it
It tastes wonderful.
The recipe was easy and the taste was great. I did add 2 tbsp of cocoa powder . I was needing an intense chocolate sensation.
Yay! So glad you liked it! This is always a batch in freezer 🙂
So happy you enjoyed these. They are a simple and easy dinner dish
Thank you so much for the recipe. I can’t wait to try this.
You’re welcome! I hope you enjoy it.
I think I would use a bigger bowl to melt the chocolate and then add the cream cheese to it to blend. It seems it would save on cleanup and you wouldn’t waste any of the chocolate goodness.
Could I use cocoa powder? Ooh…maybe add some coconut along with those nuts…all sorts of possibilities!
You can use any size bowl your comfortable with. We have never used cocoa powder but you can certainly try it. And yes we sometimes add nuts, sugar free chocolate chips too. I’m sure coconut would taste great!
This fudge is delicious and very easy to make!
This is a go to in our house. Always have some in the freezer. Glad you liked it too
how much of each ingredient???? and what is the portion size?? how can calories and carbs abd fats be worked out without a exact portion size??
Go to the recipe card it has all the ingredient amounts and how many pieces it makes
Thank you! You can never go wrong with extra chips
The full recipe is in the recipe card at the bottom of the recipe.
