A Simple Chocolate Fudge

Well this is not exactly a Goan Recipe, but since we have not shared a new recipe for a long time, we decided to put this one up here. Its also known as a Refrigerated Chocolate Cake, its an easy to do recipe that tastes yummy as a dessert especially when its complimented with some Vanilla ice cream

So lets take a look at how its done, your ingredients are,

Marie Biscuit: 100gms
Walnuts: 50gms - 100gms
Butter 100Gms
Castor Sugar: 50gms
1 Egg
Cocoa: 1 Tbsp
Vanilla Essence 1 Teaspoon
Rum 1 Teaspoon
Rum Essence

Now that we have the ingredients ready, lets start the procedure, you need to crush all the Marie biscuits with a Baton shown in the picture, we dont want it done in a blender because the crunchiness will disappear.

Once your done with that, sieve the coco. Then add it to the the crushed biscuits, you can also add the pieces of walnuts, prior to adding them make sure they are broken in to smaller pieces so its spreads evenly and is not difficult to eat as well as slice with a knife. Once this mixture is ready keep it aside for a while.

Create a water bath, also known as Bain-marie.

While it heats up you can get your castor sugar ready if you do not have any.

Take some normal sugar and blend it till its a fine powder.

Add the butter to the water bath and wait for it to melt.

As the butter is melting you can proceed to beat that egg up

Hopefully by this time the butter has melted quite a bit. Now add the castor sugar to it and then the egg into it.

Now keep stirring until the butter has melted completely and everything is mixed

When thats done take the water bath off the fire and add the walnut, cocoa and Marie biscuit mixture to it, you can start mixing it now

Add the vanilla essence

The rum also can be added, if you are adding rum no need of the essence, and if you don't want the rum flavor theres no need for the rum essence.

The rum though can be added as per desire, its good for taste and you can also have a flambe by pouring a little more on it later and lighting it up while serving.

Once its all mixed well you can remove it and place it in a mould.

Keep it in the refrigerator until its cold. Turn it around into a serving dish, here's your easy to make delicious choco fudge.

The refrigerated chocolate cake shown in the picture is of little more than double the quantity. You can also add a little more sugar if you have a sweet tooth.
