PIONEER WOMAN'S BAKED FUDGE

When I saw Ree Drummond (the Pioneer Woman of blog and Food Network fame) make this recipe on her show, it looked so easy and had ingredients I ALWAYS have on hand - I knew that I'd be making it very soon. And I did - I made it that night, and have made it over and over again since! It's like a chocolate lava cake, but more lava than cake... the best part, in my opinion! She serves this with fresh whipped cream, but we've always eaten it with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream. The contrast of hot creamy chocolate and cold vanilla goodness is phenomenal!

Time 55m

Yield 4 ramekins, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa (HEAPING tablespoons!)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Beat the eggs until light in color. Beat in the sugar until just combined. Add the cocoa, flour, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix gently until well combined.
  • Pour the batter into 4 large ramekins. Set the ramekins into a larger baking pan halfway full of water. I use a 9x13 glass pyrex pan and my 4-cup measuring cup full of water. It's easier to set the ramekins in the pan all off to one side, then put the pan in the oven, THEN pour the water in carefully in the empty spot not covered with ramekins.
  • Bake until the upper crust is crispy and the rest of the batter is firm but not set, 40 to 50 minutes. If you pull it out of the oven and have second thoughts, stick it back in for 10 more minutes.
  • Serve with sweetened whipped cream or as we prefer, a scoop of good ol' vanilla ice cream. Best warm right from the oven, but easily re-warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute before topping with the ice cream.

Time 2h10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Cooking spray, for spraying foil
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Red peppermint candies, crushed, for topping

Steps:

  • Line an 8-by-8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk and stir until melted and smooth. Pour into the prepared baking pan and spread to even out the surface. Sprinkle on the crushed candies. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Lift the foil out of the pan and peel off the fudge. Cut into small squares.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth and creamy fudge, use high-quality chocolate chips or a combination of semisweet and dark chocolate.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan for melting the chocolate and butter to prevent scorching.
  • Stir the chocolate mixture constantly while melting to avoid lumps.
  • Bring the mixture to a rolling boil for one minute, stirring constantly, to ensure proper thickening.
  • If using a candy thermometer, remove the saucepan from heat once the mixture reaches 234°F (112°C).
  • Transfer the fudge mixture to a greased 8x8 inch baking dish and let it cool completely before cutting into squares.
  • For a richer fudge, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • To add a nutty flavor, stir in chopped walnuts or pecans before pouring the fudge into the baking dish.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use bittersweet chocolate chips instead of semisweet.
  • For a festive touch, sprinkle colored sprinkles or chopped candy canes on top of the fudge before it sets.
