Recipe: Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt Fudge (2024)

• 250 gm dark chocolate chocolate chips
• 150 gm sweetened condensed milk
• A good knob (1-2 tbsp) of unsalted butter
• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
• sea salt

• Add the chocolate chips to a mixing bowl, along with the unsalted butter, half a tsp sea salt and half a tsp cinnamon. Pour over the sweetened condensed milk and stir to combine.

• Pop the bowl in the microwave for a minute, so that it all melts together (you can also melt over a Bain-Marie or double boiler).

• Gently stir the mixture together after (you don’t want air bubbles forming) until it is well combined. You want the texture to be richly-thick.

• Grease a pan / baking dish or baking tin with butter and carefully line it with parchment paper or aluminium foil.

• Pour the mixture into the pan slowly. Use a spatula to smoothen the surface. Sprinkle lots of sea salt on top.

• Let the pan cool in the fridge for a few hours (or overnight).

  

• Once completely set, the correct way to remove the fudge is by running a knife along the edge of the pan and lifting the fudge out holding onto the parchment paper. Once transferred onto a cutting board, carve our generous squares.

Pro Tips For Cutting The Sweetness

If you’d like to dial down the sweetness, you could add 1 tsp of instant coffee powder after step (3); that is, add the instant coffee powder into your combined mixture of melted chocolate and condensed milk. If you need to, you can add just about a tbsp of hot water to help dissolve the coffee powder.

Reader and fellow epicureAvni Biyani, also recommends texturing the fudge with a biscuity crust. To follow her lead, simply crush about 15 medium-sized digestive biscuits, mixing it with 60 gm of soft butter (room temperature). Pour this biscuity-mix into the pan you will be using for the fudge; and bake it in a preheated oven for around 10 minutes until it sets into a firm crust. You’ll know it’s done when it turns golden at the top. Make sure this crusty layer cools down before pouring the fudge mix over it and popping it into the refrigerator!
