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.

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.

ALMOND JOY FUDGE RECIPE - (4.4/5)



ALMOND JOY FUDGE Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by [email protected]

Number Of Ingredients 11

for the Fudge Layer:
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped
1 1/2 cups chocolate candy melts (like Wilton or Almond Bark)
1 - 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
Coconut Layer:
1 - 14 oz bag sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp. sweetened condensed milk
Chocolate Candy Layer:
20 whole raw almonds
1 cup chocolate candy melts (like Wilton or Almond Bark)

Steps:

  • Prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. In a medium saucepan over low heat, stir together the Hershey's Kisses, the chocolate melting candy, and the whole can of sweetened condensed milk until melted and smooth. The mixture should start to pull away from the edges of the pan. Scrape fudge into the prepared baking dish and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp. sweetened condensed milk, the coconut, and the powdered sugar. It's best if you can use a stand mixer for this, as it really takes some "elbow grease" to mix it together thoroughly. If you choose to mix by hand, be aware, the mixture may appear dry at first, but as you continue to "work" the coconut, the consistency will improve. Spread out a piece of parchment or wax paper that is approximately the size of the 9×9-inch dish. Scrape out the coconut mixture onto the paper. Use a rubber spatula or clean hands to press the coconut into a square the size of the dish. Invert the coconut square on top of the fudge and gently press down. Spread the almonds evenly over top of the coconut layer. Microwave the remaining melting chocolate for one minute. Stir until smooth and pour as evenly as possible over the almonds. Use a rubber spatula to gently spread the chocolate in an even layer. Let fudge cool completely to set, about 4-6 hours at room temperature or an hour in the refrigerator. Cut into 1 inch squares to serve. (I found that inverting the dish onto a cutting board and cutting from the bottom, the soft layer, down to the hard chocolate layer made the cutting a little less messy.)

Chocolate Fudge-Almond image

Provided by Charlie Trotter

Categories     Chocolate     Nut     Dessert     No-Cook     Raw     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Kosher     Diabetes-Friendly

Yield Yield: 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup raw almond butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup Green & Black's Organic cocoa powder
Seeds from 1/4 vanilla bean
1 1/2 teaspoons nama shoyu

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine all the ingredients and process until smooth. The mixture will have the consistency of a ganache. Use immediately, or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help prevent the mixture from scorching.
  • Use a candy thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature.
  • Stir the mixture constantly: This will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Be careful not to overcook the mixture: If you do, it will become too thick and crumbly.
  • Allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring it into the pan: This will help prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a variety of toppings: This will add flavor and visual appeal to the almond butter.
  • Store the almond butter in an airtight container at room temperature: It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

With its rich, creamy texture and sweet, nutty flavor, homemade almond butter is a delicious treat that can be enjoyed in many ways. Spread it on toast or crackers, use it as a dip for fruit or veggies, or add it to your favorite desserts. It's also a great way to get healthy fats, protein, and fiber into your diet. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, reach for some homemade almond butter.
