4 minute - 4 ingredients - Foolproof Fudge !

Ingredients :

1 can of condensed milk (14 ounces)
3 cups Chocolate Chips (12 ounces)
3 tbsp Butter
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Note : I used white chocolate chips to make this fudge , you can use semi-sweet chocolate morsels to make milk chocolate fudge.

Directions :

1) Line a square pan with parchment paper or aluminium foil. This helps in easy removal of set fudge.
2) Combine chocolate chips, butter and condensed milk in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and let it sit for half a minute. Stir until you the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. If needed, heat for another 20-30 seconds to achieve the silky smooth texture.
3) Stir in the vanilla extract. Mix well. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan. Refrigerate for two hours or until the fudge is firm.
4) Cut the fudge into the desired shape after the fudge is firm and settled.

Optional : You can decorate with sprinkles of your choice. I topped mine with MnMs ! Also you can also throw in chopped nuts ( walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts) or raisins, strawberry fruit preserves  to the fudge mixture to add to the flavour !

Doodh Peda aka Milk Fudge in 30 minutes

Melt in mouth doodh Pedas 

Ingredients :

2 cups of unsweetened milk powder
1 can condensed milk
(or caramel flavoured condensed milk)
1/4 cup clarified butter / ghee
1/2 tsp of cardamom powder
10-12 strands of saffron
4 tbsp milk
A few coarsely chopped pistachios, sliced almonds






Directions :

1) Soak saffron strands in warm milk and keep it aside for 5 minutes.
2) In a wide non-stick pan combine condensed milk and milk powder, mix it into a smooth paste. Make sure no lumps form.
3)  Turn the flame on medium. Add saffron milk and ghee to the mixture and keep stirring until the batter becomes thick.
4) Turn the heat off as soon as the batter starts leaving the sides of the pan. Mix in the cardamom powder. The mixture will thicken more as it cools down.
5) Let the mixture cool to a temperature where you can use your hands to knead it. Now, knead it into a dough with greased hands.
6) Divide the dough into lemon sized balls , and shape your pedas. Decorate with chopped pistachios and sliced almonds.
7) Let the pedas cool for an hour before you snack on these delicious delights !

Note : A twist to the simple doodh peda would be caramel flavoured pedas. Simply replace the condensed milk with caramel flavoured condensed milk. I like my caramel pedas a little chewy , as it tastes like caramel toffee, so I cooked the batter a little longer than I would if I were making the regular doodh pedas. These taste fantastic too.
