Gramma's Fudge Recipe (See's Fudge Copycat)
Description
This fudge recipe combines melted chocolate and butter with sifted powdered sugar and pasteurized eggs to form a smooth, thick batter. The inclusion of vanilla extract enhances the flavor depth without overpowering the chocolate. Walnuts provide textural contrast when included. The mixture is poured into a greased pan and refrigerated for at least three hours until solidified. The resulting fudge is rich and creamy with a classic flavor and firm but tender consistency, reminiscent of See's Candy fudge.
The fudges’ texture depends on thorough mixing and chilling, ensuring a smooth and set treat. The use of pasteurized eggs reduces the risk associated with raw eggs, making the fudge safe for most eaters, though caution is advised for pregnant or immunocompromised individuals.
Serve the fudge cut into small bite-sized portions ideal for sharing or gifting. It stores well refrigerated and can be kept cold until ready to serve.
Choosing pasteurized eggs is advisable for safety. If unavailable, one can use recommended home pasteurization methods. Store fudge in the refrigerator and avoid room temperature storage to maintain texture and freshness.
