Instructions:
- Heat the Cream Mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream, stevia, and butter.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the stevia and melt the butter. Continue to heat the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to simmer gently. The goal is to reduce the mixture slightly and blend the flavors, but avoid boiling.
- Add the Chocolate Chips:
- Once the cream mixture is heated and well combined, reduce the heat to low.
- Add the dark chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line a 6×6 inch baking dish or similar-sized pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal.
- Pour and Chill:
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- If using, sprinkle the finely chopped pecans evenly over the top of the fudge before refrigerating.
- Refrigerate:
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the fudge to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Serve:
- Once the fudge is fully set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper.
- Cut into 16 pieces and enjoy!
Tips:
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of stevia or sweetener according to your taste preferences.
- Texture: For a smoother texture, make sure to stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the chocolate chips are completely melted.
- Serving: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen for longer storage; just be sure to let it thaw before serving.
