Hi ALEKA,
I'll tell you up front that a lot of recipes just don't convert well. Very few things can replace the texture that sugar and flour provide unless you want to get into dubious ingredients such as sugar alcohols.
To replace moisture, one of the best things to use is cream cheese. Most LC baking is pretty dry so the cream cheese provides a softer texture and fat for mouthfeel. Another ingredient to add body is whey protein isolate but it's also dry. A combination of the two should give you a reasonable and tasty dessert but the texture won't be fudgy, it will be a bit more like a cheesecake because of the cream cheese.
Off the top of my head, I would use 1 cup of cream cheese and 1/2 cup of whey protein isolate and beat the softened butter with the cream cheese, add the sweetener and whey protein, then the eggs and vanilla.
