Notes
Recommended sweeteners
I have experimented with monkfruit/erythritol blends, allulose and stevia and have had great success with all three. Keep in mind, if using allulose, you will need to increase the amount of sweetener used by 50%. The brand of erythritol I used yielded wonderful results. However, erythritol can crystalize when cooled when used in recipes where the ratio of sweetener to liquid is too low. I have not had that problem with this recipe, but it may vary depending on the brand used. Using a 50/50 mix of erythritol and powdered stevia also made a delicious keto hot fudge.Variations
- Use a different extract – replace the vanilla extract with almond, orange or peppermint extracts
- Add instant coffee – just a teaspoon or two will enhance the chocolate flavor and create a magnificent mocha sauce
- Warming spices – add a few pinches of cinnamon, homemade tikka masala or black pepper
