This is our first fudge recipe and Matt knocked it out of the park with this Easy Pumpkin Fudge! It’s easy to make, requires no baking and has the perfect soft, cheesecake consistency, except it’s fudge! Fall time requires pumpkin everything so we went heavy handed with this recipe. The base of course has pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice, but we also crush up pumpkin seeds for a crunchy topping. The mouth feels are out of this world, and if you don’t believe us you’ll just have to make it this holiday season.
Low Carb, No Bake Recipes
No bake recipes are the easiest recipes, especially when there is a ton of other things to cook. You can usually make no bake recipes in advance to make your day of cooking less stress free! This is definitely our favorite no bake recipe by far because fudge + pumpkin + heaven! We have a couple other great no bake recipes that would be good to keep in your back pocket in times of need and high stress! Our no bake cheesecake and low carb truffles have both been hits among those who have made them.

I don’t even care if this doesn’t set properly – I’d eat it with a spoon. Batter tastes amazing ! I love you guys!
cant wait to try this!
4×4?! Who has baking dishes this small? Lol…I managed to find a round glass Tupperware and am trying that (think pizza wedge fudge instead of cubes, haha). Does explain how you managed to get the carbs down to 1.5g though! Mix tasted amazing, can’t wait.
Would these freeze OK?
Hmm, we’d heavily wrap it. Let it freeze to harden first, then wrap in plastic, then foil, then plastic again. Do not keep for longer than a few months. Thaw on counter overnight.
I made these last night and cut them up this morning. For some reason mine didn’t stay together that well. I wonder if I could have used the dry stevia instead of the liquid so they’d be less moist. They tasted great, however, and I shared them with some friends. Everyone liked them. I made a new batch to take to our Women’s Group at church tomorrow. I will let you all know how they liked them too! 😀
Thanks for all the great recipes.
Can I sub powdered erythritol? And how much would I use?
It would be to taste, really. Stop when it’s sweet enough.
Any way to sub the cream cheese for a non-dairy option?
Yep! Toffuti cream cheese will work
How much powdered erythritol to replace the liquid stevia?
It would be to taste, really. Stop when it’s sweet enough.
Do you think it would be firmer if you used half butter half coconut oil?
Not necessarily, but you could try!
