WHITE CHOCOLATE AND ALMOND FUDGE



White Chocolate and Almond Fudge image

This recipe is from the folks at Hershey's. It's one of the goodies that I'm putting on the Christmas cookie trays. I didn't want to lose the recipe, so I'm posting it here. This recipe does not double well. If you want to make more than the recipe, make it one batch at a time. These looked a bit plain after they were made so I cut them into small squares, dipped them in melted chocolate and topped each one with a sliced almond. They looked very elegant when placed on the trays. Time includes chill time.

CHOCOLATE-ALMOND FRIDGE FUDGE



Chocolate-Almond Fridge Fudge image

The dairy-free secret to this easy fudge's creaminess? Avocado. The key to a firmly set but fudgy texture is using bittersweet chocolate with minimum 60% cacao.

Provided by Chris Morocco

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dessert     Chocolate     Almond     Nut     Tree Nut     Avocado     Maple Syrup     No-Cook     Kid-Friendly     Vegetarian     Vegan     Soy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Healthy

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
¼ cup sliced almonds
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate (must be at least 60% cacao in order for the fudge to set properly), broken or chopped into small pieces if needed
½ ripe avocado
⅓ cup pure maple syrup
⅓ cup almond butter
1 Tbsp. cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-processed
¾ tsp. kosher salt
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9x5" loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving plenty of overhang on 2 sides (the spray will help it stick to the pan and stay flat). Spread out almonds on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely crush with a flat-bottomed glass.
  • Meanwhile, place chocolate in a small glass or ceramic bowl and microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well between each, until melted and smooth, 1-1½ minutes. Let cool slightly. (Alternatively, heat chocolate, stirring occasionally, in a heatproof bowl set over a small saucepan of simmering water until melted; do not let bowl touch water.)
  • Purée avocado, maple syrup, and almond butter in a food processor until very smooth, about 1 minute. Add cocoa powder, kosher salt, and 2 Tbsp. cold water. Pulse until smooth, then add melted chocolate. Pulse just until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
  • Transfer chocolate mixture to prepared pan and smooth top. Scatter reserved almonds over, then season with sea salt; press in lightly. Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Remove by lifting up parchment, then cut into squares or bars to serve.
  • Do Ahead: Fudge can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and keep chilled.

This article will explore what almond fudge recipes are and why they are so popular.

The Origin of Almond Fudge

The origins of almond fudge can be traced back to the 19th century when chocolate and almond sweets were becoming a popular treat in Europe. Over time, people started to experiment with different ingredients and techniques to create a variety of chocolate-based desserts. One of these desserts was fudge, which was made by boiling sugar and milk together until it reached the right consistency. Almonds were added to the mix to provide a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. This resulted in the creation of almond fudge, which quickly became a favorite amongst sweet-toothed individuals.

Ingredients Used in Almond Fudge Recipes

There are many variations of almond fudge recipes, but most of them include some common ingredients. These ingredients include:

Almonds
Almonds are the star ingredient in almond fudge recipes as they provide a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor. You can use whole, sliced or chopped almonds, depending on how chunky you want your almond fudge to be.
Butter
Butter is used as a binding agent in almond fudge recipes. It helps to hold all of the ingredients together and gives the fudge a smooth texture.

Making almond fudge can be a delicious and fun experience. However, there are some tips that you should keep in mind to make the process easier and the end result even more satisfying. Here are some tips for making almond fudge recipes that will have your taste buds dancing.

Tip 1: Use High-Quality Ingredients

To make the best almond fudge, use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Start with quality almonds that are fresh or roasted, depending on the recipe. Use unsalted butter, real vanilla extract, and good quality chocolate chips. These ingredients will make all the difference in flavor and texture.
Tip 1a: Nuts
Choose fresh, unsalted nuts. Almonds are the most commonly used nut in almond fudge recipes, but you can use other nuts like cashews or peanuts. It is important to roast the nuts before using them in the recipe. Roasting enhances the flavor of the nuts and gives them a nice crunch.
Tip 1b: Chocolate
Choose high-quality chocolate chips or bars. Almond fudge recipes usually call for semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. The higher the percentage of cocoa in the chocolate, the better the flavor will be. Look for chocolate with at least 70% cocoa.

Tip 2: Use a Candy Thermometer

A candy thermometer is an essential tool for making almond fudge. It allows you to monitor the temperature of the mixture as it cooks, ensuring that you achieve the desired consistency. Different almond fudge recipes have different temperature requirements, but most require heating the mixture to the “soft ball” stage, which is around 235°F to 240°F.
Tip 2a: How to Use a Candy Thermometer
Insert the thermometer into the mixture, making sure it doesn’t touch the bottom of the pot. Read the temperature on the thermometer after a few seconds of stabilizing. Be careful not to get burned, as the mixture will be very hot.

Tip 3: Stir Constantly

Stirring is crucial to achieve the right consistency in almond fudge. It helps distribute the heat evenly and prevents the mixture from burning. As the mixture cooks, it becomes thicker and harder to stir, so keep a spoon or spatula handy and stir constantly.
Tip 3a: How to Stir Almond Fudge
Use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to stir the mixture. Scrape the bottom and sides of the pot to prevent the mixture from sticking. Stir in a figure-eight motion, making sure to reach every part of the pot. Be careful not to splash the hot mixture on yourself.

Tip 4: Be Patient

Making almond fudge takes time, so be patient. It can take up to 30 minutes for the mixture to reach the desired temperature. Don’t rush the process or turn the heat up high, as this can cause the mixture to burn or crystallize. Keep stirring and monitor the temperature until it reaches the desired level.
Tip 4a: Testing for Doneness
To test if the almond fudge is done, drop a small amount of the mixture into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a soft ball that can be flattened with your fingers, it’s ready. If it’s too soft or too hard, keep cooking and testing until you achieve the desired consistency.

Tip 5: Use a Greased Pan

To prevent the almond fudge from sticking to the pan, use a greased pan. Line the pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray. This will also make it easier to remove the almond fudge from the pan once it has hardened.
Tip 5a: Choosing the Right Pan
Choose a pan that is the right size for the recipe. Almond fudge can be made in a square or rectangular pan, as well as in a loaf pan. Make sure the pan is deep enough to accommodate the mixture and leave room for it to harden.

Tip 6: Customize the Recipe

Almond fudge can be customized to suit your taste. You can add different ingredients to the recipe, such as dried fruit, coconut flakes, or caramel sauce, for a unique twist. You can also experiment with the amount of nuts, chocolate, or sugar to achieve the desired flavor and texture.
Tip 6a: Adding Extra Flavor
Almond fudge is a great base for adding extra flavor. You can add vanilla extract, almond extract, or even coffee or liqueurs for added depth. For a spicy twist, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper to the mixture.

Conclusion

Making almond fudge can be a satisfying and fun experience. By following these tips, you can make sure that your almond fudge is delicious and easy to make. Remember to use high-quality ingredients, stir constantly, and be patient. With a little practice and experimentation, you can create your own unique almond fudge recipes that you and your friends and family will love.
