When it comes to decadent desserts, nothing makes me drool more than a thick and rich chocolate sauce. This 5 ingredient recipe for sugar-free chocolate fudge sauce is the perfect topping for any low-carb treat!

Homemade Sugar Free Chocolate Fudge Sauce

My Sugar-Free Chocolate Fudge Sauce is the kind of recipe every low-carb need in their fridge. Trust me, this stuff is addicting and you’ll be making this easy dessert topping over and over again.

Isn’t it great that you don’t have to worry about purchasing this sauce for your next sugar ice cream sundae?

I mean, why would you worry about searching high and low for a sugar-free chocolate fudge sauce in the grocery stores, that you know will be full of unhealthy fillers, when you can easily make it at home?

All you need is five low-carb ingredients, how great is that? Most of these ingredients are low-carb items which you will have on hand already with the exception of one item and it is easily picked up or ordered.

You don’t need much time to make this chocolate sauce thankfully, because it comes together fast and only needs about 15 minutes to cook.

So if you have a few minutes and some extra time for chilling afterward, you’ll have a perfectly thick and rich chocolate fudge sauce that will make all your dessert dreams come true!

I make my sugar-free chocolate fudge with simple ingredients that are low in carbs, meaning this delectable topping will have only a couple of carbs and pretty low calories and fat per serving.

But don’t let that worry you at all, because it is so delicious that you’ll feel like you are cheating and indulging in a sugary and delectable treat.

Is This Chocolate Fudge Sauce Keto?

Yes, absolutely it! This creamy sauce is not only Keto friendly it is a great Trim Healthy Mama “S” recipe and would work well for anyone that needs to watch their blood sugars.

Most chocolate fudge sauces like this one will call for corn syrup or white can sugar but thankfully there is a sugar alternative called Allulose that is a fantastic replacement for all of those and it doesn’t elevate blood sugar in most cases.

I say most cases, because I’m not a doctor, nor do I have diabetes so I haven’t run any tests but for me, I know that it doesn’t elevate my blood sugars when I consume it.

Allulose is an approved sweetener for most low-carb diets including Keto, so it is an awesome sweetener to use in this chocolate sauce.

Along with the allulose the other ingredients are water, unsweetened cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and a few tablespoons of heavy whipping cream (also known as double cream in other countries).

So as you can see all these ingredients are basic and clean so they work well to make a totally Keto-friendly chocolate fudge sauce that anyone can enjoy.

Do I Have To Use Allulose or Will Other Sweeteners Work?

My answer is yes. If you want this creamy, smooth, and thick chocolate sauce then you really need to stick to the allulose for the sweetener.

I know it may be a newer sweetener choice to some reading this recipe but trust me. If you enjoy sauces like this chocolate one or a thick and rich caramel that you could enjoy on your sugar-free journey, you need to invest in some allulose.

I’ve found over the years that allulose is the perfect sweetener for these types of sauces. It melts down like sugar and cooks nearly the same when it comes to cooking it to a soft boil stage for thickening purposes.

Most low-carb or keto sweeteners will contain Erythritol in them, which gives them the bulk of their sweetness, but although erythritol will also melt down like sugar it will not main in a smooth melted state once it is cooled or chilled.

Unlike Erythritol, the properties of allulose are special. It will melt down and mix into the sauce you are preparing while hot, but it will also stay smooth and creamy as the sauce cools down.

You can even count on it staying this way as it remains in the refrigerator over a long period of time where the erythritol would recrystallize causing your sauce to lose all that amazing creaminess.

So again, yes, you really do need to use allulose in this recipe as the other sweeteners will not work the same way and you’ll feel disappointed in the end.

What is Allulose, and Does It Cause Stomach Upset?

Allulose is a sugar alternative that is roughly 70% as sweet as sugar, so it tastes very similar and works well to replace it in baked goods and sauces like this one.

I’ve done some research, and I’ve read some studies that say allulose is not absorbed into the body, and therefore, it really doesn’t contribute to your daily macro intakes. This is why it works well as a low-carb or keto sweetener.

Because although it isn’t technically a sugar alcohol, it can supposedly be subtracted from the total carbs of food to get your net carbs per serving just as you would do with a sugar alcohol like erythritol.

I personally love that allulose doesn’t have the cooling effect or a chemical taste that comes low carb dieters can detect in alternatives that contain erythritol or stevia.

However, with all this gushing I’m doing about Allulose I’d not be a good friend if I didn’t let you know about the downside to allulose.

It is not a deal breaker for myself or my family allulose has been known to cause some stomach discomfort in some people.

This discomfort often comes when they have overconsumed the allulose and not stuck to the recommended serving sizes. So just keep that in mind if you get a hankering for a double serving of this chocolate sauce.

When I start experimenting with new sweeteners or products I also take it slow with consumption until I know how my body will react.

I’m sure you all do the same thing so you won’t have any issues with pacing yourself with this sugar-free chocolate fudge sauce.

If you want to read more on allulose here’s a great article that will help you way out the pros or cons of using allulose in your daily diet.

But keep in mind, this dessert sauce will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks with no problem, so you’ll be able to take your time consuming it and that will help you avoid any unwanted overeating.

How To Store This Sugar-Free Chocolate Fudge Sauce

Once you’ve cooked your chocolate fudge sauce and you are ready to let it cool and store it away you’ll find that the best way to do this is in an airtight container with a lid.

I recommend using a glass storage bowl with a lid or a pint-size mason jar because pouring hot chocolate into place containers just might lead to a mess if things melt the plastic.

This amazing chocolate sauce makes over a cup of sauce so you’ll be happy to know there is no rush to eat it all as it will hold up extremely well in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks as long as it is stored properly.

If for some reason you want to be able to use it all by then you can freeze some for later and pull it out to thaw a few hours before you want to serve it.

How Can I Use This Chocolate Sauce?

This sweet and delicious dessert sauce can be so useful in your day-to-day life. It can be used for many different recipes or dessert toppings.

Here are a few of my recommendations for using this Sugar-Free Chocolate Fudge Sauce:

• This sauce works great cold drizzled on anything but if you want to step it up a notch and have a hot fudge sundae all you need to do is portion your sauce out and heat it a few seconds in the microwave before pouring it over your favorite sugar-free ice cream.
• Drizzle some up the sizes of your glass if you want to mimic those pricey coffee drinks you get through drive-throughs. This sauce makes such a delicious mocha frappuccino topping!
• Top your favorite Keto cheesecake with some of this chocolate fudge sauce and many some low-carb caramel sauce for the perfect turtle cheesecake slice!
• Stir some into some almond or coconut milk for a Keto friendly chocolate milk!
• Mix a couple of tablespoons into some heavy whipping cream and whip it up into a quick single-serve chocolate mousse option.
• Eat it by the spoonful! Okay, so I’m kidding with this one, lol, but it is seriously that good that you’ll be tempted to do just that!

Notes

Nutrition Note: The total net carbs per tablespoon for this chocolate sauce is 13.11 grams with 12 of those being from the sweetener Allulose. This sweetener is not considered a sugar alcohol technically so I don't add it to the nutrition card. But to get net carbs here's how it is done: Total Carb: 13.11 - 12 grams of Allulose minus the 1.11 grams of fiber will give you the total of .45 grams of net carbs per tablespoon.
