This healthier rocky road fudge is incredibly easy to whip up & is gluten, dairy & refined sugar-free! It has a delicious rich & creamy texture that is sure to please all, but with better-for-you ingredients!

DAIRY + GLUTEN + REFINED SUGAR-FREE + NO BAKE Healthier Rocky Road Fudge

This healthier rocky road fudge is made without any gluten, dairy or refined sugars. You can sweeten them up a bit with a bit of maple syrup or preferred sweetener of choice if desired, but I found they were naturally sweet enough from the dark chocolate that I used! This fudge is full of delicious texture & flavours from the goji berries, hazelnuts, dark chocolate & more!

Is this Healthier Rocky Road Fudge vegan?

Yes! You just want to make sure you use vegan chocolate & vegan marshmallows, both of which I linked my favourite brands of below in the recipe. You are also going to want to make sure you use coconut oil or vegan butter, rather that regular butter.

Can I make this healthier rocky road fudge keto/low-carb?

Yes! You just have to make sure to have a few key ingredients on hand. You are going to want to use a low-sugar chocolate, which I have also linked my favourite brand of in the full recipe! You are going to want to use low-carb marshmallows as well. I haven’t found a great brand to purchase yet, but I have a recipe on my blog that you can find here for super authentic & low-carb marshmallows!

I also recommend omitting the dried fruit to lower the carbs & sugar as well! If you do choose to use a sweetener I recommend powdered Lakanto, which doesn’t raise blood sugar levels & is a great option for low-sugar & keto baking! As you can see this recipe is very easy to modify to be low-carb, low-sugar & keto!

HOW TO STORE This HEALTHIER rocky road fudge

I store this healthier rocky road fudge in an air-sealed container in the fridge or the freezer. After it has set I move it from the square baking pan & the parchment paper & store it in a bag or glass container, covered in the fridge! You could also store it in the freezer, where it will last longer & remove from the freezer as desired. Note: if you do keep it in the freezer, I recommend taking it out 10-20 minutes before you want to enjoy it, so it can warm up slightly!

Ingredients you will need:

canned coconut milk (the thick creamy part)
dark chocolate chips (I like these for dairy-free & these for sugar-free)
butter or coconut oil (you could also sub for your preferred vegan butter of choice, this is my favourite)
pink salt
vanilla extract
Optional sweetener (I didn’t use any as my chocolate gave it enough sweetness)
marshmallows (I like these for a vegan & gluten-free option, or I like these homemade ones for a lower sugar option)
mixed nuts (I used dry roasted hazelnuts)
dried fruit (optional, I used goji berries)
gluten-free pretzels (optional)
