Malt Fudge

Ingredients

Cup Ovaltine

Cup heavy cream

Cup corn syrup

Cup cocoa powder (heaping)

2oz

or ⅓ Cup dark chocolate chips or chopped bars

Tbsp unsalted butter

Tbsp sugar

tsp kosher salt

tsp molasses (optional)

Malt Fudge

This recipe comes from a now off-the-menu Chocolate Malt Cake (OG’s will remember.) The size of this recipe will make slightly more than you need to fill your cookies, any smaller of a recipe and you start to run into trouble. This leftover fudge, warmed up, is perfect on ice cream.

Method:

-Combine the following in a large bowl: Ovaltine, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, butter, salt, and molasses (if using). Set aside.

-To a small saucepan add your cream, sugar, and corn syrup, set over medium heat and stir to combine.

-Bring to a boil, then pour cream mixture over the contents of your large bowl.

-Stir everything together to make sure the cream mixture has covered all other ingredients.

-Allow to sit for 1 minute so your butter and chocolate can melt.

-Whisk together until all is homogenous and smooth. (if you have an immersion blender, feel free to use to obtain a smoother fudge).

-Allow to come to room temperature before use.

-Fudge can be made up to a week ahead of time, stored in the fridge, or kept for a month in the freezer.
