Start melting on low heat
- Put a pan on low heat.
- Add dark chocolate and condensed milk.
- Technique cue: Stir all the time—chocolate can burn super quick.
- Alternative (double-boiler): Bowl over boiling water; keep the mixture moving on low heat to avoid seizing/setting too fast.
Finish melting
- Once the chocolate is fully melted, remove from the heat.
- Stir with a final mix.
Add-ins
- Stir in chopped almonds (or swap for walnuts/pecans).
- Orange version: Add zest of 2 oranges, scrape in, and mix.
- Speed cue: Mix promptly because the fudge wants to set now.
- Chili variation: Add finely chopped fresh chili just at the end for a “chili chocolate” twist (instead of orange).
Portion into lined tins
- Transfer immediately into moulds/tins because it begins setting quickly.
- Used method: 2 loaf tins lined with greaseproof paper.
- Technique cue: Spread/flatten evenly—it will only set further, so the placement at this stage is important.
- Presentation note: Prefer the top slightly rough, not perfectly smooth, for a homemade look.
Chill
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (used time: 2 hours).
- Ready when the fudge is completely set.
Cut
- Slice into cubes.
- Why cubes: The flavor is strong/sweet, and smaller pieces help the orange (where used) come through.

Don’t walk away while melting chocolate + condensed milk (it burns quickly).
Keep continuous stirring to prevent burning.
Mix quickly once off the heat—the fudge starts to set soon after melting.
Before chilling, control the surface (since it only sets, not reshapes later).
