Can I cook chocolate fudge on the stovetop?
Yes, you can prepare these 3 ingredients fudge recipes on a stovetop. Cook till chocolate melts. You can also double boil chocolate.
Can I use Dark chocolate?
My kids have sweet tooth so I prefer using semi sweet chocolate chips. If you prefer mild sweet fudge use Dark chocolate.
Can I use chocolate chunks instead of chips?
Yes, you can use chocolate chips or chocolate chunks, or grated/chopped chocolate. I used entire 11.5 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips for this recipe. Chunks of chocolate use the same measurement.
Why room temperature condensed milk for fudge?
when I experimented for the perfect fudge I realized condensed milk kept in the fridge turns slightly thick. If you are using room temperature (flowing condensed milk) from the pantry, use a 3/4 cup for one 11.5 oz pack. This gives the best fudge. If you are planning to use the condensed milk from the fridge, use the entire can.
Always big microwave dish
It is always recommended to use the big microwave-safe bowl as chocolate might bubble while cooking and it is safe to use a big bowl. I always use pyrex glass and it works perfectly.
Does a metal spoon really give a difference with the consistency?
I feel a metal spoon works best for fudge when compared to a wooden spoon. I would highly recommend using a metal fork or spoon.
Soft ball stage cooking for chocolate fudge?
The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave setting. Cook just till the chocolate is completely melted. Drop a small portion of the Fudge mixture into a glass containing cold water, if you can easily form a soft ball then the fudge mixture is in the right stage. If you don’t cook till the chocolate is completely melted or soft ball stage fudge will turn chewy. Overcooking might result in a hard ball which will give a hard fudge.
Can I cut the chocolate fudge immediately?
No, fudge needs to cool for at least a few hours until it turns firm. Cut then refrigerate for 4 hours to set. After that, you can keep it at room temperature or fridge. I generally keep choco fudge at room temperature. If you are storing in the fridge make sure you keep it at room temperature for a few hours before serving Chocolate based recipes in TMF
Can I add dry fruits or nuts to be fudge?
Yes, follow the base recipe and play with your flavors. If you feel chocolate fudge is sweet use cranberry, black raisins to balance the flavor. You can also use almonds or other nuts like butterscotch fudge. Caramel sauce or some fruit glaze can also be added. Condensed milk-based recipes in TMF
Why my fudge is not set?
To make a perfect chocolate fudge
Always use fresh chocolate chips I prefer using room temperature condensed milk as it is slightly runny Cook the fudge to the right consistency and always cut only after it turns firm. Consume the fudge after 12 hours for the best result.
