I have such a sweet tooth that I crave chocolate at the best of times so you can only imagine how this is compounded during Ramadan when I am fasting. Fudge is one of those delicious melt-in-the-mouth treats I miss about England that I have not been able to find here in Saudi Arabia. Yesterday when the cravings got the better of me, I pulled out the cookbooks and was drawn to a very simple recipe for chocolate fudge ~ only three ingredients required and preparation time was less than 5 minutes!
You need:
500g dark chocolate
1 x 397g tin of sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup butter
(optional 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence)
Preparation:
In a heavy bottomed saucepan melt together the chocolate and butter and mix to a smooth consistency. Pour in the condensed milk and beat well until you achieve a homogenous mixture. Pour into a small greased tin, allow to cool a little before refrigerating. Once firm, cut the fudge into cubes. In the still warm climate of Riyadh I am finding it best to keep the fudge in the fridge as it softens to much when kept at room temperature.

Assalaamu alaikum,
I feel a bit sick now Aalya!
Ammena: It was hard to restrain myself; I haven’t changed much since I was 6 and still like to ‘lick’ out the bowl (with a teaspoon) after making something!
Aalya // September 16, 2008 at 9:46 pm
That has to be the hardest thing when you are cooking and fasting… I’ve had to stop myself how many times!!
Ohhh nutella! Yum!!

Sonya // September 17, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Could this be made with milk chocolate rather than dark chocolate? I’m not a fan of dark chocolate.
I probably sound so stupid asking that question!
Itto // September 17, 2008 at 1:47 pm
salamou alaikoum sister,
mh, that sounds soooo good…. unfortunately chocolate is not available over here in good quality and I have it to be brought from Europe.
I just wanted to let you know, that you can find me now on wordpress, too…
blessings to you, xxx
Najeeba // September 17, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Salam,
Wow! What a simple recipe, and that too with chocolate! Yummyyyy…. I plan to make it after Ramadan, or as ammena said, I will dip my fingers in it and taste it.
Umm Ibrahim // September 17, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Assalaamu alaikum
Sonya: According to the recipe it would be too sticky if you use milk chocolate.
Itto: Actually even here the chocolate I buy is German! Welcome to WordPress.
Najeeba: Mind you don’t burn your fingers, the mixture is hot!

Umm Ibrahim // September 23, 2008 at 3:20 am
Assalaamu alaikum,
That’s a shame Rainbow… did you use dark chocolate or milk chocolate? Milk will give a stickier consistency. I kept mine in the freezer actually maybe that helps.
Biscuit: Read your blogpost, good to hear that it was such a success!
