CHOCOLATE KOLBASA (RUSSIAN NO-BAKE FUDGE COOKIES)



Chocolate Kolbasa (Russian No-Bake Fudge Cookies) image

The chef Bonnie Morales Frumkin upgraded this recipe from a treat her Russian family often made during the Soviet era as a way to stretch precious supplies like cookies and cocoa powder. By adding bittersweet chocolate and toasted hazelnuts, she has made it positively luxurious. The treat gets its name from its resemblance to a salami, with bits of nuts and cookies studding each slice.

Time 3h30m

Yield About 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

About 4 ounces/110 grams plain cookies, such as shortbread, tea biscuits, chocolate wafers or graham crackers (store-bought is fine), to make 2 cups cookie bits
2/3 cup/3 ounces/85 grams chopped toasted hazelnuts, walnuts or pecans
8 tablespoons/120 grams unsalted butter (1 stick)
3/4 cup/6 ounces/180 milliliters sweetened condensed milk
4 1/2 ounces/125 grams bittersweet chocolate, in bars or chips
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 cup/30 grams confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Place cookies in a bowl and use a masher to crush them into bits. (The biggest pieces should be no larger than 1/2-inch square.) Dump mixture into a colander and shake to remove most of the tiny crumbs. You should have about 2 cups pieces remaining. Return to bowl and add nuts.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Whisk in condensed milk. If using bar chocolate, break into medium-size pieces. Add chocolate, cocoa powder and salt, and whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Scrape chocolate mixture into bowl with cookies. Stir together and set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes to firm up.
  • Meanwhile, lay 2 sheets of aluminum foil, each about 18 inches long, on a work surface. Top each with a sheet of waxed or parchment paper. Divide cookie mixture between the two. Using paper and your hands, shape and roll mixture into two cylinders of dough, each about 12 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll dough up in the paper, then again in foil. Roll on the work surface to make sure the log is even, then twist the ends of the foil to secure.
  • Refrigerate the logs until firm, at least 1 hour. After 1 hour, check to make sure they are setting evenly. If necessary, roll on the work surface again until smooth (no need to remove the foil and paper). Refrigerate until fully set, another 2 hours or up to 3 days.
  • When ready to serve, remove logs from refrigerator and unwrap them on a work surface. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar over them, turning to coat. Shake off excess and use a serrated knife to slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Plate and serve, or refrigerate up to 2 hours.

WHITE RUSSIAN FUDGE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



White Russian Fudge Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 oz cream cheese
4 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup plus 2 tsp Kahlua
12 oz white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Line 8″ square pan with parchment paper, leaving paper hanging over the sides. This will allow you to grab the paper and remove the fudge from the pan for easy cutting; set aside. Cream powdered sugar, cream cheese, Kahlua and vanilla in mixing bowl. Melt white chocolate chips in microwave in 30 sec intervals, stirring in-between. Stir melted chocolate into cream cheese mixture and pour into pan and allow to cool. Drag fork over top of fudge to add texture, if desired and refrigerate overnight. Remove fudge from pan, place on cutting board, cut into squares and serve.

Tips:

  • Use the right ingredients. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will produce the best fudge. Use real butter, not margarine, and use good-quality chocolate.
  • Don't overcook the fudge. Fudge is done when it reaches the soft-ball stage, which means that when you drop a small amount of fudge into a glass of cold water, it will form a soft ball that holds its shape.
  • Let the fudge cool completely. Fudge needs to cool completely before it can be cut and served. This will help the fudge to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Store the fudge properly. Fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or in the freezer for up to two months.

Conclusion:

Russian fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of fudge that will be the perfect addition to any dessert table. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give Russian fudge a try. You won't be disappointed!
