how to make chocolate frosting fudge
YOU WILL NEED
SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS
You will need 2 2/3 cups (16 ounces) of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Here, we use Nestle brand.
Note that one regular-size bag of chocolate chips is only about 2 cups.
STORE-BOUGHT FROSTING
Use any of your favorite brands of chocolate store-bought frosting. Tubs are usually 16 ounces.
My favorite brands are Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines.
TOOLS YOU’LL NEED:
- large, microwave-safe bowl OR sauce pan
- 8 or 9-inch square baking pan (I prefer the smaller size for thicker fudge)
- non-stick cooking spray or non-stick foil
SUPPLIES AND INGREDIENTS
let’s make 2-ingredient frosting fudge
step one: microwave
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, place 2 2/3 cups of chocolate chips and one tub of chocolate store-bought frosting.
Microwave for 90 seconds at 70 percent power. Stir very well, using the residual heat to completely melt the chocolate.
step two: any mix-ins?
If you’re using any mix-ins, stir them in here!
step three: pour into the pan
Scrape the mixture into a prepared 8 or 9-inch square pan that has been greased well or lined with lightly-greased parchment paper or no-stick foil.
Chill several hours until well set and cut into 25 squares.
how do I make microwave fudge on the stove-top?
Because overcooked chocolate should be avoided, I sometimes make fudge in a double boiler when cooking on the stove-top instead of the microwave.
To make your own double boiler, rest a heat-safe bowl on top of a saucepan of simmering water. There should be one to two inches of space between the top of the water and the bottom of the bowl.
Place your chocolate chips and frosting in the bowl and stir well until the chocolate chips are about three-quarters of the way melted. Then, remove from the heat and use the residual heat, stirring, until the mixture is very smooth. Then, pour into your pan.
