Sugar-Free Maple-Nut Fudge

Servings 24
Calories

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup organic butter
  • 1 8 oz package mascarpone or cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup Natural Sweetener
  • 1 tsp stevia glycerite
  • 1 tsp maple extract or a few drops maple oil
  • OPTIONS:
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat (heat until it turns brown, not black).
  • Add natural sweeteners until sweeteners dissolve and the mixture bubbles just a little.
  • Using a hand mixer on low speed, add in extract and mascarpone/cream cheese.
  • Mix until combined.
  • The mixture will not emulsify until it cools a little. NOTE: I placed the mixture into my blender and combined until smooth which caused it to not separate. If you use a hand mixer, it keeps separating until cooled. So after it cools a bit, whip it together.
  • Stir in the nuts and ginger if using.
  • Place a piece of parchment in an 8 x 8 square baking pan. Pour mixture into the pan lined with parchment. Refrigerate overnight, the mixture will thicken a lot. Remove from pan, peel away parchment and cut into <g class="gr_ gr_119 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" id="119" data-gr-id="119">1 inch</g> cubes. Makes 24 servings.
