Instructions:
For the fudge:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the stick of salted butter and 1/2 cup of heavy cream together, stirring occasionally until it comes to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in the organic peanut butter until fully combined.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually add in the powdered erythritol, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Line a dish or baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some excess paper hanging over the edges for easy removal later.
- Pour the peanut butter fudge mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the dish in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the fudge to set.
For the chocolate topping:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/4 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup of sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Assembly:
- Once the peanut butter fudge has set in the freezer, remove it from the dish using the parchment paper and place it on a flat surface.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top of the fudge, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
- If desired, sprinkle shredded coconut over the chocolate topping for added flavor and texture.
- Return the dish to the freezer for another 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate topping to set.
