    Christmas means giving presents and what better present than Black Forest fudge with cherries, made in your slow cooker. It would make a perfect homemade gift for your friends and family.

    Chocolate and cherry is such a classic combination. Ideal for Christmas time and the colder months, as well as the warmer times of year!

    I actually made this slow cooker Black Forest fudge back in August but have been saving it until now, so am making up for that now as it is fudge season at last!

    White plate with chopped up squares of chocolate cherry fudge.

    Ingredients

    You will need

    • 400 g milk chocolate
    • 1 tin condensed milk (397 g size)
    • Black Forest icing sugar (chocolate and cherry flavour)
    • glace cherries
    • vanilla extract

    Step by step

    Step 1. Melt the chocolate and condensed milk plus vanilla extract together indoor slow cooker, on low with the lid OFF. Stir every few minutes.

    Step 2. Once melted together, and smooth and silky, stop heating.

    Step 3. Sieve in the icing sugar then beat or whisk well until well combined with no white spots. Stir in the chopped cherries.

    Step 4. Transfer to a lined baking tray. Press the halved cherries into the top.

    Step 5. Put the tray into the fridge to chill for 2-3 hours. Once set, cut into squares and serve.

    UK Measurements - US Measurements

    Instructions 

    • Melt the chocolate in the slow cooker with the condensed milk and vanilla extract.
    • Once it is smooth and silky you can take it out. It only took half an hour on high in my slow cooker, which runs very hot.
    • Sieve in the icing sugar and beat or whisk well. Stir in the chopped cherries.
    • Pour the mixture into a lined baking tray. Press the halved cherries on top.
    • Put the tray in the fridge to chill for a couple of hours.
    • Remove and chop it up, enjoy!

    Notes

    If you want to keep it (and can resist!) it will last for 2 weeks in the fridge in an airtight container.

      I keep meaning to try the flavoured icing sugars. Such a clever idea! The fudge sounds to die for by the way!!

      Either Sainsburys or Moreisons do a ‘Cherry Cordial’ which is full of flavour as it’s pure cordial not squash.
      I might try putting some in an airtight box with the sugar and see if it absorbs the cherry flavour….
      Going to make this fudge and make hand made boxes to put it in as gifts.

      Thank
      You

        Just use plain icing sugar but it won’t have the black cherry flavour
