Ingredients for Fudge:
- 10 oz Baking semi-sweet chocolate
- 14 oz Condensed milk
- 1 tbsp Orange zest (grate an orange with its skin on a grater to get some orange zest)
- Sea Salt to sprinkle
Ingredients for Coating:
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate
Tips:
- Always use a heavy bottom pan for making fudge so it doesn’t stick or get burnt.
- For best results and easy maneuvering use ingredients at room temperature.
- For clean cuts in the fudge, dip the knife in warm water and wipe it before each cut.
- While coating the fudge pieces, do it one by one otherwise putting more pieces in melted chocolate at once might cool the chocolate too fast.
Directions:
- Grease a 8×8 inch square pan with butter. Line the pan with the parchment paper.
- Cut the chocolate bar in smaller chunks so they can easily melt.
- Place a heavy bottom pan on a low flame and add condensed milk, orange zest and chopped chocolate chunks to it.
- Keep stirring for 2-3 minutes or until the chocolate is melted and the whole mixture is well blended.
- Pour the chocolate mixture immediately in the pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
- Refrigerate it for 2-3 hours or until properly set.
- Cut it into truffle size pieces and keep it aside.
- Chop chocolate meant for coating into small pieces.
- Melt it in a microwave by heating it for 30 seconds and then mixing. Repeat the process 2- 3 times.
- After the chocolate is melted, use it to cover fudge pieces one by one using a fork.
- Sprinkle the chocolate coated fudge pieces with some sea salt and put them in the refrigerator to cool for 2-3 hours.
- Take them out and store it in an air tight storage box.
