A delicious and easy condensed milk chocolate fudge made within the gradual cooker, with an easter theme – simple gradual cooker easter fudge!

This recipe has been so extremely requested within the current months and years, and I’ll at all times assist give prime recommendations on convert a recipe into the gradual cooker – however that is lastly a devoted put up only for this. 

Easter recipes

We’re so extremely into the Easter baking season this yr and I’m LOVING your entire posts baking my recipes this yr. There are such a lot of individuals prepping forward for Easter because it’s nonetheless a number of weeks away when this recipe is being posted, and I like that. 

The number of easter recipes is principally limitless which I’ve talked about earlier than… my Easter chocolate tart from final week has been successful as I attempted to make it new and completely different to my earlier tarts, my carrot cake muffins are happening a storm, and my traditional mini egg NYC Cookies are ridiculously standard as ever – I can’t blame you all although, these cookies are simply the most effective factor on the planet. 

Easter Fudge

In relation to fudge, and the easter theme, I’ve a number of recipes already going that I am keen on. My mini egg fudge, my easter fudge, and even my vanilla fudge is tremendous standard for the time being and I’m right here for it.

There are such a lot of concepts and flavours you can go down, and this recipe was meant to be an excellent simple fudge recipe you could adapt and alter to what flavours you need, however I’m utilizing Easter as a base due to when I’m posting the recipe. You’ll be able to in fact use it any time of yr. 

Condensed milk fudge

Condensed milk fudge is what I might name ‘cheats fudge’ as a result of it’s not technically fudge. It’s an excellent simple approach to make a fudge like deal with, and I am keen on such a ‘fudge’ however I do know a few of you on the earth don’t prefer it in any respect. My vanilla fudge and my cookies and cream fudge are extra traditional fudge and if you’re after that, the gradual cooker isn’t the one for these – it is advisable to stick with these recipes because the temperature is tremendous necessary.

Nonetheless, in terms of the condensed milk kind fudge recipes like this one, they’re tremendous simple. I’ve so many limitless varieties on my weblog and in my books already that you’re spoilt for selection, and it exhibits how simple they’re to swap up and alter.

There are a number of guidelines to roughly stick with to verify they set. For a fundamental ‘two ingredient’ fudge, it is advisable to use:

• White chocolate fudge – 600g chocolate + one 397g tin of full fats/sugar condensed milk
• Milk chocolate fudge – 500g chocolate + one 397g tin of full fats/sugar condensed milk
• Darkish chocolate fudge – 400g chocolate + one 397g tin of full fats/sugar condensed milk

The condensed milk kind fudges work equally like ganache and the cocoa content material of the chocolate is at all times necessary. Once I make these fudges I exploit a fundamental baking chocolate or grocery store personal confectionary chocolate (the most affordable yow will discover) and I keep away from manufacturers of chocolate. Typically, manufacturers corresponding to cadburys (and bournville) have an excellent low cocoa content material and added substances which may trigger issues with the set. 

Gradual cooker fudge 

So gradual cooker fudge is just not a brand new factor, it’s been round for a very long time. I’ve posted recipes earlier than and folks have requested covert it to being made within the gradual cooker, and I’ve given the recommendation right here and there, and even in my e-book… however I assumed it was excessive time I simply made a devoted put up only for it. 

I begin by including the chocolate I’m utilizing, on this occasion it’s milk chocolate, and add it damaged up into the gradual cooker with the condensed milk and stir it collectively barely. On low, you ‘cook dinner’ the fudge for 2 hours, stirring each 15minutes or so to forestall the fudge from sticking or burning. 

As soon as the 2 hours is up, and the fudge is gorgeous and clean, you’ll be able to add the easter candies. In the event you add them right away, they may soften barely, however I don’t thoughts. You’ll be able to simply pour the fudge straight right into a tin after which simply add easter candies on prime. 

Once I make gradual cooker fudge, the gradual cooker portion of the recipe takes about 2 hours to attain, after which the fudge nonetheless must set after. All in all, I might say it takes 4+ hours in whole – but it surely’s value it. Sure, utilizing the microwave or pan is faster, however numerous you like the gradual cooker methodology because it helps forestall splitting and it’s really easy. 

Setting the fudge 

So as a result of I needed to make this an easter theme, I added in some easter candies. You need to use any flavour easter chocolate, even softer centred ones (however they will ooze all over the place as soon as reduce open), however I exploit a mixture of mini eggs, smartie eggs, milky bar eggs, terry’s chocolate orange eggs and all types. I wish to make up a bowl of candies and simply tip some in so it’s good and random. 

You’ll be able to set the fudge in a tin – I sometimes use a 9×9″ sq. tin or a 7×11″ brownie tin as a result of I just like the depth of fudge it makes, however you can too use a 8″ sq. tin for a deeper fudge. Ensuring that the tin is lined, I tape the fudge into the tin and press it down firmly, after which sprinkle some additional choccies on prime. I set this within the fridge or freezer relying on once I want it, however if you happen to do freeze it, it’s tremendous arduous to chop as it is going to be SOLID.
