I have been contemplating over many recipes this past month. Wanted to share so many recipes with you guys !! Especially Ras Malai , Malpuas and Jalebis. But yes there is always a but!! This past year have been so hectic with my baby. It’s as if I am competing with time. Cooking daily meals is overwhelming and I can barely manage it.
Can’t even think of making elaborate sweets. I can only dream about them. I try to share at least one recipe a week with you. Frustration is setting in ( Post Partum depression 🙁 ) but I am hanging in there. I tell myself everyday ” This isn’t permanent .Life is going to be better. Just a matter of time. Make most of the present. ” Cooking, taking photos , writing is a lot of work but that’s the only way to connect with a sweet audience like you. After a long crazy day with two kids, daily chores when I open my laptop and blog I feel so satisfied. Sharing is my way to unwind. Thank you for being a part of my world!
Coming back to this super easy fudge recipe.
Old Fashioned Fudge vs Condensed Milk Fudge
Traditionally the old-fashioned fudge is made by stirring in milk, sometimes evaporated milk , chocolate / cocoa , sugar flavoring in a sauce pan. Cooking it on a low flame . This method requires constant stirring so that the mixture doesn’t burn and avoid crystallization of sugar It also requires to cook the fudge mixture to a certain temperature. Hence you will require a candy thermometer as well to make old-fashioned fudge. Some recipes even use marshmallow cream to make fudge. Good new is that Condensed milk fudge requires only 3 main ingredients for the base. It really just comes down to –
Sweetened Condensed milk Choice of chocolate ( white , semi-sweet or dark) Flavoring of your choice
No thermometer or pro candy making skills needed here. Fudge can be done in a microwave or on a double boiler within minutes. No constant stirring required to make fudge using condensed milk.
There are so many fun and delicious variations you can try using this basic white chocolate fudge recipe. GET CREATIVE with fudge flavors and add ons . Fun add ons – You may fold in some nuts, dried fruits, chocolate chips, pretzel bites, cereal , caramel bits in the fudge base. Play with Flavors – You can even try different flavoring other than just vanilla. I love lemon extract, any fruit extract, peppermint extract , citrus zest . Color your fudge – You can color white chocolate fudge with oil based color or adding dried food grade powder . Do not use any water based food color or purees as it will seize the chocolate. Go natural and use a bit of turmeric for yellow, matcha for green . You may use freezer dried fruit powder that are readily available in super market. Have fun with vibrant colors from beet, pitaya , blueberry, raspberry powder and many more. Spice up your fudge – Choose from wide variety like pumpkin spice, chai spice, lavender , pepper , saffron , cardamom. Ideas and possibilities are endless here. You are just limited by your imagination.
Today I will show you how to make this Indian fudge aka burfi using condensed milk fudge as a base.
It’s a Indian fusion sweet recipe. It is so easy to make Burfi with condensed milk and tastes absolutely rich and delicious just like the traditional one. I have added Indian popular spice mix Thandai powder to make this Indian style fudge. Thandai powder is made of ground peppercorn, cardamom, fennel, melon seeds, poppy seeds , rose petals. It’s actually consumed as a drink by mixing it in milk and served chill on hot summer days. Holi – Indian festival of colors actually marks the beginning of Thandai fever. So when I made this easy burfi recipe for Holi, I thought why not share this Indian Fudge recipe with you. What I like about this recipe is balance of flavors. As white chocolate fudge is really sweet the Thandai powder spice mix really cuts that sweetness. If you do not have thandai powder mix you may add a little bit of each ingredient separately. If all ingredients are not available then a little black pepper, cardamom, saffron, fennel will do .It works like a charm!! Do top it with some roasted chopped nuts .
Fudge makes great edible gifts for your friends and family. It is even cheap on the pocket and budget friendly sweet. Most importantly a big batch of this fudge comes together in 10 minutes and no mess. How long will condensed milk fudge last? Condensed milk fudge will last about 2 weeks at room temperature in an air tight container and about a month if refrigerated. You may individually wrap each fudge piece, place it in an air tight container and freeze it for 3-4 months.
