It is the BEST!!!!!!!! I made it with cooking chocolate, but not the compound stuff, the choc buds, mixed half milk and half dark, put in raspberries and m&ms. Drool much!!!!!
Ava loves the dairy free one but i'm not so sure myself.. i think personally i NEED the full on CHOC hit that comes from real heavy dark choc.. not the dairy free stuff...
Should have put raspberries in with it or something.
I just wanted to come in and say thank you for this yummy recipe .
I made it for christmas day...and it was a real winner...everybody LOVED it!!!
I did 2 variations of it:-
The dark chocolate and peppermint crisp one.
And I'm not sure if anyone else had tried this....hence why I thought I'd share....just in case but I did a
Lemon Meringue Fudge......it was even yummier !!! (though I didn't have as many testers on this)
I actually wasn't sure if it turned out ok so didn't take it to my family gathering...as when I made it - I kept tasting it to be sure but I just didn't think there was enough lemon to it. But turns out my tastebuds that evening when I made it was playing up (I had a bit of a sore throat anyway). But when I was clearing out the fridge to go away I gave it to my parents and they all...including my dad - who rarely eats sweets LOVED it!!!
So with the Lemon Meringue I used... along with the tin of condensed milk, 75gms of butter -
I used 500gms of white chocolate instead
and started with 1/2 teaspoon of lemon essence (instead of the vanilla).
I added about another tablespoon of lemon essence, but was scared of it turning to runny, so I then decided to use the rind of 1 lemon, but still didn't think it was lemony enough...and didn't have any more lemons so I took the chance and squeezed the juice of the rindless lemon in too...it was not runny at all.
A couple of days later...I got around to properly tasting it a few days later and it was definitely lemony (not overly strong either...so I think when I make it again...because I will it was that yummy...I might use another lemon rind maybe....will just keep tasting to be sure though...ahh the things you gotta do when cooking ).
To finish it off I had made up some meringue (just the egg whites and castor sugar mix and into the oven for 10mintues) and placed it on top (though because I didn't think it had worked I think I waited too long to put the meringue on...cause it kept sliding off...might have to do so when both are still warm I think...unless someone here can recommend something ).
So once again thank you for such an easy and yummy dessert .
oh geez...i haven't made this since i did my last post (which was when i got a little obsessed with it...lol)....now i want some! guess what I'll be making again in the next few days :-)
I made this the other day...and you are all right...bloody deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious!
However, does fudge normally melt?
I left a few pieces in a container on the couch, and came back an hr or so later and they had melted a lil bit. Like sticky melted, not into a chocolate pool or anything..
