Chocolate Fudge
Fudge (and tablet)
is a popular form of sweet confection in Scotland and it sells particularly
well in tourist shops.
It can have many flavours added to it, from various
fruit essences to whisky. The one here uses vanilla, but feel free to experiment!
Unlike a number of fudge recipes, it does not involve boiling the ingredients.
Ingredients:
3 ounces (90g or ¾ stick) full fat cream cheese
2 ounces (60g) chocolate, chopped into pieces
10 ounces (275g) sieved icing sugar (frosting)
Salt to taste
Vanilla essence to taste
Method:
Beat the cream cheese until it is smooth
Beat in the sieved sugar.
Melt the chocolate in a basin over hot water.
Allow the chocolate to cool slightly
While the chololate is still soft, beat in:
The cheese and sugar mixture, together with the vanilla essence and the salt.
Press the mixture into a greased tin
(measuring about 6x4) and smooth the top.
Chill until set enough to
cut into rough squares.
