Today’s Special: Spicy Chocolate Cherry Fudge

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and indulgent recipe for Spicy Chocolate Cherry Fudge. I was inspired to create this dish after craving a combination of rich chocolate with a kick of heat and a touch of sweetness. This fudge is perfect for special occasions or when you want to treat yourself to something truly decadent.

To start, gather the following ingredients:

  • 200g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 200g sweetened condensed milk
  • 50g dried cherries, chopped
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Next, grab these essential kitchen tools:

  • saucepan
  • wooden spoon
  • 8×8 inch baking dish
  • parchment paper

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate and sweetened condensed milk together, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until smooth and well combined. Add in the chopped dried cherries, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and sea salt, stirring until everything is evenly distributed.

Line the 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, then pour the fudge mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon. Place the dish in the refrigerator and let the fudge set for at least 2 hours.

Once the fudge is firm, remove it from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized squares. Serve and enjoy the creamy, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors of this unique treat.

This Spicy Chocolate Cherry Fudge weighs approximately 500g total, makes about 16 servings, with each serving weighing around 30g. Each serving is estimated to have around 120 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of extra sea salt on top of the fudge before it sets in the refrigerator. The salt enhances the flavors of the chocolate, cherries, and spices, creating a more complex and delicious treat.

I encourage you to give this Spicy Chocolate Cherry Fudge recipe a try and feel free to customize it to suit your own taste preferences. Enjoy the process of creating something new and delicious in your kitchen!
