How to cook Soft chocolate fudge with nuts

Step 1

Soft chocolate fudge with nuts

First of all, you need to soak the beans for at least 4 hours, and then rinse them and boil them according to the instructions on the package, i.e. add beans to a pot of water in a ratio of 1:5 and bring to a boil. Then cook for 10 minutes over high heat, and then 1.5 hours over low heat. Almost all of the water will be absorbed into the beans. Puree the boiled beans with an immersion blender until smooth.

Soft chocolate fudge with nuts - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

While the recipe works best with the recommended beans, you can experiment with other types. Just ensure they cook to a very soft consistency for a smooth puree. Note that different beans might slightly alter the overall flavor.
If you're avoiding dairy or condensed milk, you can try using coconut condensed milk (available in many stores) or a homemade alternative using coconut milk and sugar, reduced on the stovetop. The consistency will impact the final fudge texture.
This fudge should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for up to a week. Storing it cold helps maintain its texture and prevents it from becoming too soft.
Yes, you can freeze this fudge! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.
If you're omitting the cognac, you can substitute it with a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a complementary flavor extract like almond or coffee. Alternatively, just skip it; the fudge will still be delicious.
Feel free to get creative! Consider dried cranberries, chopped pretzels, toffee bits, mini chocolate chips, or even a swirl of peanut butter. Adjust the quantities to your liking.
To make this recipe vegetarian, ensure that the marshmallows you use are vegetarian as some marshmallows contain gelatin. For a vegan version, substitute the butter with a plant-based butter alternative, condensed milk with coconut condensed milk, and marshmallows with vegan marshmallows.
Ensure you cook the bean puree mixture long enough to remove sufficient moisture. Also, be sure to refrigerate the fudge for the recommended time, or even longer, to allow it to fully set. The ratio of chocolate to other ingredients also plays a role; too much liquid can prevent setting as well.
