Slow Cooker Chocolate Fudge
Description
The recipe for Slow Cooker Chocolate Fudge uses a simple combination of milk chocolate, condensed milk, and optional vanilla extract melted together in a slow cooker set on low heat without a lid. Regular stirring every 15 minutes prevents skin or crust from forming on the surface and promotes even melting and smooth texture.
During cooking, the fudge develops a glossy consistency and forms a first crust on the surface, which is stirred back in. After the second crust forms and is stirred in, the fudge is ready to be poured into a tray or mold for setting. The setting process requires refrigeration overnight or can be accelerated by freezing.
The resulting fudge is creamy and sweet, suitable for slicing into small portions to enjoy as a rich treat. Attention is needed to stir frequently, making it less hands-off than typical slow cooker recipes, but this care improves texture considerably.
Optional additions like alcohol can be cautiously incorporated at the start of making the recipe, gradually increasing in subsequent batches if desired. To prevent sticking when stacking fudge layers, placing baking paper between layers is recommended.
Ingredients
- 500 g chocolate milk
- 397 g condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients in the slow cooker. With the lid off, on low, stir every 15 minutes.
- When the first crust forms (this will be like a skin on the top of your mixture) stir it really well and then repeat until your second crust forms. After the second crust has formed, it's ready to pour in to your tray or mould. This will take around an hour and a half.
- Refrigerate until firm, overnight is best, you can also place it in the freezer if you need it to set faster.
Notes
- Stir every 15 minutes during cooking to maintain a smooth texture and prevent crust formation.
- Add alcohol cautiously starting with small amounts; increase in later batches if desired but excess is irreversible.
- Refrigerate fudge overnight to fully set; freezing can speed this process if needed.
- Use baking paper between fudge layers when stacking in containers to prevent sticking.
