🍫 Frances Strange Fudge Recipe 🍫
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Serving: Makes approximately 24 squares
Ingredients:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup Velveeta cheese
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
-
Combine sugar and cocoa: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder until well combined. This forms the base of our decadent fudge.
-
Melt butter and cheese: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and Velveeta cheese together, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy. This unique combination adds a velvety texture and savory undertones to the fudge mixture.
-
Stir into sugar mixture: Once the butter and cheese are fully melted and blended, pour the mixture into the bowl with the sugar and cocoa. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
-
Add vanilla and nuts: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the fudge’s aroma and flavor. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts of your choice for added crunch and texture. This step is optional but highly recommended for those seeking an extra layer of indulgence.
-
Press into pan: Lightly butter or spray a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent the fudge from sticking. Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to evenly spread it out and press it down firmly.
-
Allow to set: Let the fudge cool and set at room temperature until firm, typically for about an hour. For quicker results, you can place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to speed up the setting process.
-
Cut into squares: Once the fudge has hardened, use a sharp knife to cut it into squares of your desired size. The rich, velvety texture and intense chocolate flavor make each bite a true delight for the senses.
