About chocolate fudge
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Posie Brien’s selected microwave chocolate fudge makes a smooth, sweet confection from chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, butter and vanilla. This version chooses chopped semisweet chocolate from her listed chocolate options.
The chocolate is melted in short microwave bursts, with stirring between them until it is smooth. Sweetened condensed milk is stirred into the melted chocolate, thickening the mixture slightly.
Cold butter is cut into small pieces and scattered over the chocolate mixture. A further microwave heating melts it before stirring combines the butter with the fudge.
Vanilla is stirred in, and the smooth mixture is poured into a parchment-lined loaf pan. The lining supports lifting out the set confection for slicing.
The fudge cools and firms for several hours or overnight before it is sliced. Brien describes its silky texture, with this selected microwave preparation offering a simple chocolate-focused confection.
