I've been meaning to try this. I am definitely going to have to pick up a tub of vanilla whey protein powder when I get paid again, then I will for sure try these.

I wonder if the cream cheese could be replaced with something else. I haven't quite come down to the culprit just yet, but I'm pretty sure cream cheese makes me gain weight or I just don't lose weight at all.

I made some peanut butter fudge for the kids. Never mind the kids. I love it. I should have tried this recipe a long time ago. I will make a double batch next time, and slightly increase the sweetener.

I am not going to make it anymore. I ate almost the whole pan. That made me feel out of control.

Yummy!

I have this in the fridge right now. Except I made a few substitutes. I used ricotta cheese instead of cream cheese, since my body isn't very tolerant of cream cheese, so I will see how it turns out. I also used my cookies and cream whey protein powder instead of vanilla, since all I had on hand was the cookies and cream. It didn't seem to make a difference taste wise since the PB is so overpowering. I also used a little bit less than 1 cup of Splenda.

Smart girl. I have to do that with most desserts we have listed on this site, just can't have them in my house frozen or not. But not this fudge. I freeze it and eat it when I'm on the run as a meal or dessert.

Thisrightnow, I'd love to know how it came out with ricotta.

It actually tasted really good! My parents even loved it. I think it would taste better with the vanilla whey instead of cookies and cream, which I am going to pick up on Friday.

I'm thinking about making it with cottage cheese. I've been trying out different cottage cheese recipes and got a kick butt one for cottage cheese pudding that I like.

I love this fudge. It's one of my "freeze it" kind of sweets but love it. fun way (not going to say "good way"

) to get protein in if you're in the mood for sweets.

Thisrightnow, so you substituted riccota for all of the cream cheese? Was it whole fat ricotta?

I have to lay off baked goods for a while, sort of od'd on zucchini muffins LOL which I tend to do when I bake. Eat it all up then don't bake for a while.

just bumping this thread as my mom was looking for a PB fudge recipe. when i made this in the past, i didn't care for the tanginess of the cream cheese. so i used more butter in place of the 2oz of CC. i made some yesterday and it is more oily tasting than i remember. i may try it again with the cc. is there a way to cut the tanginess without making it too sickeningly sweet? AS just taste bad when you use too much.

also, instead of all ezsweets, i used half ezsweets and half erythritol plus a little more erythritol...6T total of erythritol...2 extra T. sweetness wise it wasn't too much, but the E gave it an interesting mouth feel...not sure if i like it.

so anyway, the tanginess of the cc is what i'm wondering about...any suggestions?
