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 all the time assist give prime tips about convert a recipe into the gradual cooker – however that is lastly a devoted submit only for this. 

Easter recipes

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

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

Easter Fudge

In terms of fudge, and the easter theme, I’ve just a few recipes already going that I like. My mini egg fudge, my easter fudge, and even my vanilla fudge is tremendous common for the time being and I’m right here for it.

There are such a lot of concepts and flavours you may go down, and this recipe was meant to be an excellent simple fudge recipe that you would be able to 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 possibly can after all use it any time of yr. 

Condensed milk fudge

Condensed milk fudge is what I’d name ‘cheats fudge’ as a result of it’s not technically fudge. It’s an excellent simple option to make a fudge like deal with, and I like one of these ‘fudge’ however I do know a few of you on the planet don’t prefer it in any respect. My vanilla fudge and my cookies and cream fudge are extra traditional fudge and in case you are after that, the gradual cooker isn’t the one for these – it’s worthwhile to keep on with these recipes because the temperature is tremendous vital.

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

There are just a few guidelines to roughly keep on with to ensure they set. For a primary ‘two ingredient’ fudge, it’s worthwhile 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 all the time vital. After I make these fudges I exploit a primary baking chocolate or grocery store personal confectionary chocolate (the most cost effective yow will discover) and I keep away from manufacturers of chocolate. Generally, manufacturers akin to cadburys (and bournville) have an excellent low cocoa content material and added substances which might trigger issues with the set. 

Gradual cooker fudge 

So gradual cooker fudge isn’t 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 ebook… however I believed it was excessive time I simply made a devoted submit 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 ‘prepare dinner’ the fudge for 2 hours, stirring each 15minutes or so to stop 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 case you add them right away, they’ll soften barely, however I don’t thoughts. You possibly can simply pour the fudge straight right into a tin after which simply add easter candies on prime. 

After I make gradual cooker fudge, the gradual cooker portion of the recipe takes about 2 hours to realize, after which the fudge nonetheless must set after. All in all, I’d say it takes 4+ hours in whole – however it’s price it. Sure, utilizing the microwave or pan is faster, however numerous you like the gradual cooker methodology because it helps stop 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 should utilize any flavour easter chocolate, even softer centred ones (however they’ll 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 prefer to make up a bowl of candies and simply tip some in so it’s good and random. 

You possibly can set the fudge in a tin – I usually 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 may also 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 further choccies on prime. I set this within the fridge or freezer relying on once I want it, however for those who do freeze it, it’s tremendous arduous to chop as it will likely be SOLID.
