Tips for Flawless Fudge Every Time
Achieve fudge perfection with these expert tips:
- Line Your Loaf Pan: Ensure easy removal of the fudge by lining the loaf pan with waxed or parchment paper, allowing for seamless slicing.
- Creamy Peanut Butter: Opt for a smooth and creamy peanut butter for the ultimate fudge texture. Avoid varieties with excessive oil, as they can affect consistency.
- Salted vs. Unsalted Butter: Tailor the fudge to your taste preferences by choosing between salted or unsalted butter. Salted butter enhances flavor, but unsalted options offer a milder taste.
- Choose the Right Sweetener: Use powdered sweetener to avoid a gritty texture. Swerve is recommended for optimal results, as other sweeteners may alter the fudge’s consistency.
- Collagen Powder Magic: Incorporate collagen powder to reduce sweetener quantity while maintaining fudge consistency. Adjust sweetness to taste preferences by adding additional sweetener if desired.
Storing Your Keto Peanut Butter Fudge
Enjoy your fudge at its best by storing it appropriately:
- Room Temperature: For optimal texture and flavor, store fudge at room temperature in a covered container for up to 4 days.
- Refrigeration: Extend fudge freshness by refrigerating it for several weeks in a sealed container. Prevent flavor transfer by storing it away from other refrigerated items.
