Storage Tips

Store your sugar-free almond butter fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze in layers separated by parchment paper for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Extra Tips for the Recipe

  • If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk to thin it.
  • For cleaner cuts, warm your knife under hot water.
  • Test sweetness before pouring—add more vanilla if needed.
  • Avoid over-microwaving to prevent seizing.

Variations of the Recipe

  • Salted version: Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before chilling.
  • Nutty crunch: Mix in chopped almonds or walnuts.
  • Coffee-infused: Add 1 tsp espresso powder for a mocha twist.
  • Coconut flair: Stir in unsweetened coconut flakes.
