How to Make Our Weight Watchers Chocolate Fudge
Prepare your pan. Line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides. This ensures you can lift the fudge out easily once it has set.
Melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and the fat-free condensed milk. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each session. Be careful not to overheat, as sugar-free chocolate can be temperamental. Stop when the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Add flavor. Fold in the vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the vanilla is fully incorporated and the fudge starts to look thick and velvety.
Set the fudge. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
Slice and serve. Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the block onto a cutting board. Cut into 24 even squares to maintain accurate point tracking.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
Storing: Keep your fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Because this recipe uses less fat than traditional fudge, keeping it chilled helps maintain the best texture.
Freezing: This fudge freezes beautifully. Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag for up to three months. This is a great way to practice portion control—just grab one square when the craving strikes.
Serving Pairings: Pair a square of fudge with a bowl of fresh raspberries or strawberries. The acidity of the fruit cuts through the richness of the chocolate for a perfect zero-point side.
Tips & FAQs
Can I use milk chocolate chips instead? You can, but keep in mind that sugar-free semi-sweet chips usually offer the best point-to-flavor ratio for Weight Watchers followers. Milk chocolate will increase the sugar content and likely the point value.
Why is my fudge grainy? Graininess usually happens if the chocolate is scorched during melting. Always use low heat and stir frequently. If using the stovetop, a double boiler is the safest method to keep the texture smooth.
How do I calculate the points? The points depend on the specific brands of sugar-free chips and condensed milk you use. We recommend plugging your specific ingredients into your WW app builder to get the most accurate number for your plan.
