How To Make Chocolate Fudge
1. first ,line a 6 x 6- inch square pan with aluminium foil or parchment paper. keep some extra paper or foil hanging on the sides of the pan so that you can easily lift it when the fudge is set and done.
2. Take 1 cup chopped couverture chocolate, 200 grams sweetened condensed milk (half a can of condensed milk), and 1 tablespoon butter in a bowl or a shallow frying pan.
If using unsalted butter , add a pinch of salt . set the bowl or pan aside.
3. Heat about 1 to 1.5 cups water in a sauce pan or pot on a medium to high heat till the water becomes hot and begins to boil.
4. Lower the heat and place the bowl or shallow frying pan, containing the chopped chocolate, condensed milk, and butter on the saucepan, making sure that the bottom does not touch the boiling water.
You can also melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, but i prefer using this double boiler method rather than melting chocolate in the microwave because it’s easier to keep from scorching.
5. As soon as you place the pan on the double boiler, the chocolate will begin to melt.
6. Stir often while the chocolate is melting.
7. In the photo below you can see that more of the chocolate has melted.
8. Stir the fudge mixture non-stop while the chocolate is melting.
9. When all the chocolate is melted, turn off the heat.
10. Quickly add chopped walnuts and vanilla extract or vanilla powder, if using.
11. Mix very well.
Set Chocolate Fudge
12. Using a spatula , pour the entire fudge mixture in the pan lined with the aluminium foil.
13.Let the fudge first cool at room temperature. Do not cover the pan while it is hot, or you’ll have condensation raining down on it.
When the chocolate fudge has cooled entirely to room temperature, cover the pan and refrigerate it for 3 to 4 hours or overnight , till it sets completely.
I kept the fudge overnight in the fridge.
14. When set, remote the fudge along with the foil and place it on a chopping board.
15.Slice the chocolate fudge into squares or rectangles. The yield is 350 grams of chocolate fudge from this recipe and makes for about 10 to 12 squares of fudge pieces.
16. Serve these chocolate fudge squares or wrap them in foil or parchment paper and keep covered in a jar or box in the fridge. These stay good for a month in the fridge.
