Ingredients
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
¼ cup Swerve confectioners’-style sweetener
1 tsp maple extract or a few drops of maple oil
1 (227g/8 oz) package mascarpone or cream cheese
¼ tsp ginger powder (optional)
1 cup chopped raw pecans or walnuts (optional)
- FOR GARNISH
24 raw pecan or walnut halves
Directions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until brown (but not black!) flecks appear. Stir in the sweetener to combine.
- Stir in the extract and mascarpone cheese until the cheese is melted. Pour the mixture into a blender and, if using, add the ginger. Blend until completely smooth. If using, stir in the nuts.
- In an 8-inch square baking pan, line with parchment paper. Fill the lined pan halfway with the fudge mixture. Refrigerate overnight to allow the fudge to thicken significantly. Remove the fudge from the pan, peel away the parchment, and cut it into 24 pieces. If desired, garnish the top of each piece with a pecan or walnut half.
- Extras can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Allow to thaw completely before serving.
