CHRISTMAS CRANBERRY FUDGE



Christmas Cranberry Fudge image

My grandma always made this at Christmas. Then my mom, and when I started baking, I also made this. It's easy and uses cranberry concentrate instead of the usual dried or fresh. It is now a family tradition with us and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Time 4h35m

Yield 64 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 ounces white chocolate
0.5 (4 ounce) can cream cheese
0.5 (4 ounce) can dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Prepare a pan. Line a 8 x 8 square shaped baking-pan with aluminum foil, then spray it with some nonstick. Make room in a fridge for the pan refridgerating.
  • In a large microwave bowl, break the chocolate into 1 oz pieces.
  • Pour sweetened condensed milk on the chocolate.
  • Microwave the chocolate for one minute. Use a silicone spatula to stir vigorously.
  • When the mixture is melted and humongous, add the flavoring: vanilla extract.
  • Turn into the prepared pan, and then spread into an well-even layer. Set aside.
  • In the separate bowl, break white chocolate into 1 oz. pieces, then microwave for 30 seconds. Stir vigorously.
  • When the chocolate is melted, stir in cream cheese. Cream cheese helps it stay soft, once it has been chilled in the fridge.
  • Spread the white chocolate mixture on the top of the dark chocolate.
  • Refridgerate for 3 hours. Cut into a one inch square, once you're done refridgerating.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Fresh cranberries are more tart and flavorful than frozen or dried cranberries.
  • Don't overcook the fudge. Fudge is done when it reaches 234 degrees Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer. If you overcook it, it will be too hard and crumbly.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help it to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
  • Add some chopped nuts or dried fruit to the fudge for extra flavor and texture. Popular add-ins include walnuts, pecans, almonds, raisins, and dried cherries.
  • Get creative with your decorations. You can top the fudge with sprinkles, chopped candy canes, or even edible glitter.

Conclusion:

Christmas Cranberry Fudge is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its tart and tangy flavor, this fudge is sure to be a hit at your next holiday party.
