Nutty Chocolate Fudge Recipe is an easy recipe to put together with dark and white chocolates and your choice of nuts and fruits.
The white and dark chocolate fudge I have shared here is extremely versatile. You can add your favourite nuts and dry fruits to make it a delicious treat for any party.
Use good quality coverture
Always use good quality coverture chocolate to make the nutty fudge. Do not use compound chocolates as they have a slight chemical taste. I use Van Houten coverture in all my bakes and recipe.
Nutty Chocolate Fudge Recipe – Melting the chocolate
The making of the fudge hardly takes time. Make sure that your chocolate is at room temperature so that everything gets done in minutes.
Microwaving the chocolate to melt is one of the easiest ways. IF you don’t have a microwave oven, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.
With all the nuts and dry fruits, the fudge looks so beautiful and makes an amazing centre piece in your parties. It also literally takes five minutes to bring it together.
The method of preparation for both white and dark chocolates are the same. Melt chocolate. Warm up the condensed milk. Mix them together and add the fillings.
Using parchment paper to line the tin would help you to lift the fudge out of tin easily. So don’t skip that step.
Use a sharp knife to slice the fudge. Also make sure that the fudge is not set too hard while slicing.
The fudge needs refrigeration. Once at room temperature, they will lose their shape and become too soft. SO always refrigerate in an air tight box.
I also made a video demonstrating the procedure. Please check it out if you like to watch videos and learn.
