Entertaining this weekend, and need a last-minute sweet treat that everyone will love? Our roast almond and orange fudge is the perfect solution!
If you don’t have any dried oranges, you can swap for dried berries (find them at Woolworths, along with our roast almonds).
Orange and roasted almond fudge
Serves 24
Prep time; 20 minutes
Cooking time; 2-4 hours
Setting time; 6 hours
Ingredients
1 orange, very thinly sliced
350g 70% dark chocolate
300g condensed milk
1 cup lucky.nuts roast almonds, roughly chopped
Method
1. Preheat oven to 90 C. Line a large tray with baking paper, and lay down orange slices. Bake
for 2-4 hours, flipping over every 30 minutes, until completely dry. After this time take 6
slices and cut into small pieces. Set aside.
2. Add 2cm water to a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Grease a small tin (15-20cm
square) and line with baking paper. Set aside.
3. Finely chop the dark chocolate and place into a heat proof bowl (metal works best). The
finer you chop the chocolate the better- you may even grate the chocolate.
4. Pour condensed milk over chocolate and place bowl over the saucepan, so that it is sitting
double boiler style. Reduce heat to a simmer and gently melt the chocolate, stirring the
whole time. Once you have a thick, glossy mixture remove from the heat.
5. Working quickly, add almonds and orange pieces and stir through. Use a spatula to scrap
into the prepared tin, flatten into an even layer and refrigerate for 6+ hours.
6. Use a sharp knife to cut into slices, then store in an airtight container in the fridge.
