Maple Walnut Fudge
Description
Maple Walnut Fudge combines smooth melted white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk to create a creamy base finished with toasted, chopped walnuts folded in for texture and flavor. Toasting the walnuts beforehand deepens their nutty taste and makes their crunch more pronounced. The subtle maple extract adds a gentle, sweet complexity that complements the white chocolate without overpowering it. A pinch of sea salt sprinkled atop balances the fudge’s sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
The recipe requires careful melting of the chocolate and condensed milk in short intervals to prevent scorching, leading to a silky, lump-free fudge base. Pressing the mixture into a parchment-lined pan ensures easy removal after chilling. Once set in the refrigerator for at least three hours, the fudge can be cut into squares for serving.
This fudge makes a rich confection for gifting or sharing at gatherings, pairing well with tea or coffee. It holds well refrigerated and can be stored for several days, keeping its creamy texture and nutty crunch intact.
