About:

A fudge is a rich candy made with sugar, milk, butter and flavoring. In this recipe I have made two layers by giving a touch of indo-western as the mango layer is made from mango pulp and it’s the most common seasonal fruit in india and chocolate is from western confectionery. I haven’t used any butter and sugar here instead used low fat condensed milk which makes the treat rich.

Flavorful mango fudge layer is coated with bittersweet chocolate layer; topped with melted chocolate. It is simple and delicious recipe.

Yields: 15-18pieces
Preparation time: 10mins
Cooking time: 30mins

Ingredients:

For mango layer:

• Fresh mango pulp-1cup
• Low fat Milk powder-1-11/2cup (depending on the thickness of pulp)
• Vanilla essence-1tsp
• Low fat condensed milk-150ml

For chocolate layer:

• Dark chocolate (70% cocoa) -100gms
• Low fat condensed milk- 150ml
• Vanilla essence-1tsp

Procedure:

For mango layer:

• Line 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a bowl combine condensed milk and mango pulp, and the pour it to a non-stick wok/pan.
• Place over a medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until reduced to half.
• At this stage add vanilla essence, milk powder 1 cup milk powder little at a time stirring continuously ensure no lumps are formed.
• Taste the mixture at this stage and if you feel more sweet is required add brown sugar/ sweetener and continue to cook on a  low flame.
• if the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan then its almost done.
• If its still liquid  then add some more milk powder and mix well until the smooth dough consistency is formed .
• Turn off the heat and transfer it to the lined pan and spread evenly and set aside.

Chocolate layer:

• In  a pan over low flame combine condensed milk, chocolate and heat until chocolates are melted and smooth.
• spread this mixture on top of mango mixture and smooth evenly.

• Refrigerate until set about 2-3 hours.
• Once set decorate it with melted chocolate/nuts and cut into small squares.

Note:

• I added just condensed milk for sweetness but if you love more sweet in your fudge go ahead and add sugar/ any sweetener.
• You can also just make either of the one layers
• In chocolate layer if you don’t like the bitterness use milk chocolate.
• Quantity of milk powder can be reduced/ increased depending on the pulp and the duration of cooking (If you add less milk powder it takes longtime to get thicker).
• Chocolate layer can be melted in microwave as well;  Just combine chocolate pieces and condensed milk and heat until chocolate is completely melted (approx. 1-2 mins)
