I’m a chocolate girl through and through. I always opt for chocolatey treats like my healthy no-bake brownie balls or 3-ingredient healthy date caramel cups. And fudge? Well that’s one of my favorites! But with most fudge recipes, there are two things I don’t love – they pack in a TON of sugar, and they always requires some kind of heating/cooking on the stove. So this 2 ingredient fudge recipe not only contains a fraction of the sugar of regular fudge (making it a much healthier alternative), but there’s absolutely NO baking or cooking required. Simply melt chocolate chips in the microwave, stir in some Greek yogurt – and you’re good to go! This magic 2-ingredient fudge isn’t only healthy but super EASY to make too.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Just two wholesome ingredients — no condensed milk or added sugar needed!
- Naturally gluten-free and easy to make vegan or dairy-free with a simple swap.
- No special equipment or candy thermometer required — just melt, mix, chill, and slice!
What You’ll Need to Make 2-Ingredient Healthy Fudge
Chocolate Chips
The rich base of this fudge. You can use dark, semi-sweet, or even sugar-free chocolate chips depending on your preference. For a vegan version, go with dairy-free chocolate like Enjoy Life or Hu Kitchen. I used the Just Dates date-sweetened chocolate chips to make my healthy fudge refined sugar-free!
Greek Yogurt
This is what makes the fudge creamy, thick, and slightly tangy — without any butter or condensed milk. It also sneaks in a bit of protein and gives the fudge a perfectly soft, chewy bite. For dairy-free, simply use a thick plant-based Greek-style yogurt like coconut or cashew-based yogurt.
Can I Make This Fudge Dairy-Free?
Absolutely! Just use a dairy-free chocolate and a plant-based Greek-style yogurt. Look for yogurts that are thick and unsweetened, such as cashew or coconut-based ones, to keep the texture right. The flavor stays delicious, and it’s 100% vegan-friendly!
Sam’s Recipe Tips
- Room temp yogurt is key. Cold yogurt will cause the melted chocolate to seize, making it grainy instead of smooth.
- Use a small loaf pan. A 9×4 pan makes the perfect thickness for easy-to-slice fudge squares.
- Flavor twist? Add a pinch of sea salt, cinnamon, or a few drops of peppermint extract to mix things up!
Magic 2-Ingredient Healthy Fudge
Equipment
- 1 small bowl
- 1 9×4-inch loaf pan
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips I used date-sweetened chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt or plain unsweetened coconut yogurt to make it dairy-free/vegan
Instructions
- Line a 9×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Measure out ¾ cup of Greek yogurt and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, or until it’s no longer cold.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a bowl in either the microwave or over a double boiler or until completely smooth, then add in the room temp Greek yogurt. Mix quickly until the chocolate and yogurt are fully combined.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to your prepared loaf pan, spread it into an even layer, then transfer it to the fridge for at least 1 hour or until the fudge it firm. Once firm, remove the fudge from the fridge and cut it into small squares. Enjoy right away or store in the fridge for later!

Sam, I am new(er) to your recipes but my goodness, they are amazing! This fudge recipe is out of this world. The texture is perfect, maybe even better than “real” fudge. I used Coco June for the yogurt. I appreciate all the thought you put into these recipes as a sufferer myself.
