Cuisine: African
Serves: 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup baobab powder
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup of baobab powder, 1 cup of crushed Oreo cookies, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Prepare a square baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) by lining it with parchment paper. This will help in easily removing the fudge once it has set.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Once the chocolate mixture is melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the baobab powder until well incorporated.
- Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until fully combined. The mixture should be creamy and have a lovely aroma from the vanilla.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies into the chocolate mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Make sure to smooth the top for a nice finish.
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and allow the fudge to set for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm.
- Once the fudge is set, remove it from the refrigerator and lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper. Cut into 16 equal pieces.
- Serve the Baobab Chocolate Oreo Fudge immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the most luxurious texture and flavor.
- Ensure your baobab powder is fresh and of good quality to maximize its nutritional benefits and unique taste.
- Crush Oreo cookies just before adding them to maintain their crisp texture.
- Use low heat when melting chocolate to prevent burning or seizing.
- Allow sufficient chilling time for the fudge to set properly - patience is key!
- For a cleaner cut, use a sharp knife and wipe it between each slice.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate (dark, milk, or white) to customize your fudge.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent absorption of other refrigerator odors.
