This fudge is not only visually appealing but also deliciously creamy with bursts of strawberry and chocolate flavors. It’s the perfect treat for special occasions or when you want to satisfy your sweet tooth with minimal effort. The combination of white and dark chocolate combined with strawberries makes this fudge a delightful and satisfying dessert!

You will love it! It’s great for gifts, dessert platters, or anytime you want a piece of deliciousness. Its just like regular fudge – super rich, uber decadent – but secretly healthy and guilt-free!  Yup, that means no butter, no truckloads of white sugar and no sweetened condensed milk…  just pure, fudgy nutty chocolatey goodness. And no candy thermometer needed.

The big secret here is that you will be using homemade condensed milk, free of the LOADS of sugar in store bought stuff.

The facts are… manufacturers take out about 60% of the water from the milk to “condense” it down. After they “condense” the milk, they add about 40% sugar to fill the void from the water.

I’m sure you are asking yourself why the manufacturers do this. Well, the added sugar means the shelf life is longer, plus transporting the milk is easier due to not having to store it in cooler temperatures.

Its always about the convenience to them, rather than people’s health. But when you take the time and effort to make your own condensed milk, especially if its from coconut cream to make this delightful fudge, you get all the real, natural flavors – no artificial food flavorings here!  Each little cube is like a piece of heaven.

The recipe link for the sugar free homemade condensed milk is below in notes. It really very easy to do and you can keep some in your fridge so its ready to add a dollop on EVERYTHING for a super healthy treat.

It will be something you can enjoy regularly as part of a healthy eating plan. Its high in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a form of beneficial fat that can increase energy levels and enhance brain function and many other health benefits. MCTs also help people lose weight by making them feel fuller longer and encouraging fat burning, they also have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that can boost the immune system and promote healthy skin.

As well as being really easy to make, this fudge is healthier than your average treat as it is made with wholesome REAL food ingredients. With the added protein powder it makes it more balanced than the traditional high carb recipe.

Old fashioned baked recipes always had tons of sugar, carbs and fats. The new modern way it to add protein making the recipe more balanced and healthy. Eating protein-rich foods has many health and fitness benefits, including:

Speeding recovery after exercise and/or injury.
Reducing muscle loss
Building lean muscle
Helping maintain a healthy weight
Curbing hunger

A well-balanced diet with proper ratios of macro nutrients (protein, healthy carbs and fats) provides all of the: energy you need to keep active throughout the day, nutrients you need for growth and repair, helping you to stay strong and healthy and help to prevent diet-related illness.

When you find your optimal balance and amounts of macro nutrients, you take a major step toward reaching your health goals and this balance has been improved in this recipe by the addition of healthy protein.

Your body can only absorb around 25-30 grams of protein at one time and you  likely need 80-100 plus grams a day so its important to spread it over all meals and snacks throughout the day so you can meet your required amount.

If you are looking for a quick and easy dessert to make at home, you will love this recipe. Fully customizable too – you can add your own extras like nuts, dried fruit, seeds or other flavours to the 2-ingredient chocolate chips/condensed milk base recipe.

One little square makes me happy in an instant. It’s soft, chewy and it melts in your mouth so beautiful. It not only looks fantastic it tastes fantastic too.
