Slow Cooker Black Forest Fudge

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!

How to Make Black Forest Fudge

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 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.
