I had to force myself to stop eating this…literally, I had to make myself put the lid on the jar and place it in the fridge! So, consider yourself warned…
This Low Carb Hot Fudge takes about 5 minutes to make, tastes amazing and is going to brighten up your holidays, I promise. It is heavenly in coffee or right from the jar with a spoon (or your finger!) Slathered it on just about anything you can think of. Try it as “frosting”, use it to make chocolate milk, put it on ice cream, the sky’s the limit.
Making Hot Fudge is a holiday tradition for me and since I am living by the Trim Healthy Mama way of life I was wondering how I was going to still enjoy this treat. Then it dawned on me, I could adapt my tried and true Hot Fudge recipe and make it low carb, guess what? It worked, and I can hardly tell the two recipes apart, perfect!
I hope this Low Carb Hot Fudge brightens up your Christmas Season as much as it does mine…now, gotta go find that jar…just one more taste!!!

Hot Fudge
In a small sauce pan melt the butter and xylitol, stirring it together. Whisk in the cocoa powder.
Once it is combined stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream.
Bring just to a boil and remove from heat. Add 1/4 tsp. vanilla and stir.
Let cool on the stove and then store in a jar in the refrigerator, heat up for a few seconds in the microwave to soften and enjoy!
The kitchen is where I express myself. It is where I go when I need to process or escape. Cooking is my creative outlet and my stress reliever. When I am in my kitchen, my ingredients listen to me, they do what I want, and I can produce something that is satisfying, tasty, and healthy without it whining or talking back to me! Join me as I journey through life in my kitchen. 
YAY! SO excited about this!! I will be making this (as soon as I order some more xylitol!) SO soon! (my diabetic dad thanks you!) <3
Looks good, but I don’t use xylitol as it is deadly to dogs. I’ll try powdered erythritol, instead.
Malainie, I’d love to hear how it turns out with erythritol! Let me know.
Just made my third batch of this. So good! And my little girls think dipping strawberries in chocolate for breakfast is the best! I use a homemade Truvia mix to sweeten it; some erythritol, xylitol, and stevia extract. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Yum, strawberries and chocolate is never a bad thing! Glad you like this recipe, it’s a favorite around here too.
Hello,
Any idea if you could substitute avocado for the heavy cream? I would love to try this but I need a dairy free option!
I haven’t tried to make it dairy free but if it was me I would try coconut cream. Let me know how it goes and what you try.
This is AMAZING! Truly a blessing in my life (ESPECIALLY during pms week). Life’s too short not to eat hot fudge sauce and now we can all do just that and stay on our THM plan!!! Thank you!!!
Can I use just the stevia for the sweetner, and how much?
I don’t think just stevia would work, you need the “bulk” of the xylitol. Maybe the THM sweet blend would work? I don’t have any yet to try.
