Velvet Fudge Recipes

CHOCOLATE VELVEETA FUDGE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Butter a 9-inch-square pan. It's best to avoid cooking spray since this recipe produces a heavy, dense end result.
• Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes. They don't have to be symmetrical, but smaller pieces will be easier to work with than a large chunk.
• In a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and cheese cubes. Cook, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth.
• Remove from heat, but don't allow to cool. If it thickens, add a teaspoon of hot water to reduce the stickiness.
• Combine the confectioners' sugar and cocoa and whisk to blend (or sift them together). Add the sugar and cocoa mixture to the cheese mixture, mixing well. Add the vanilla and nuts and blend well. The mixture will be thicker than you might expect, but that's OK.
• Press the mixture into the prepared pan; chill in the refrigerator (not the freezer) for about 2 hours or until firm. Cut into squares.

RED VELVET FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly grease it. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the foam subsides, stir in the evaporated milk, brown sugar, white sugar, marshmallows, orange zest and salt. Bring the mixture to a rapid boil, stirring constantly. Continue boil and stir the mixture until it reaches soft ball stage on a candy thermometer (140 degrees), about 4 to 6 minutes.
• Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and vigorously whisk in the milk chocolate, white chocolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract and optional red food coloring. Continue to whisk the mixture until all of the chocolate chips have melted and the mixture is smooth. You may need to set the saucepan on the hot stove top again for a minute or so to aid in completely melting the chocolate chips.
• Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, pour the contents of the saucepan into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.
• When you are ready to serve, cut the fudge into squares. There is no need to cut the fudge until you are ready to serve it.
• Enjoy!
