Chocolate Pistachio Fudge

Hey dolls :)

This recipe makes the most squidgy, chocolately fudge in all the land...some may say, SEX FUDGE!

Ingredients



350g of dark chocolate (preferably 70% coco +) broken into small pieces
1 can of condensed milk
30g butter
pinch of salt
150g pistachios

Step 1



This is the hardest bit of the process as it's quite boring! You have to unshell all of the pistachios! It doesn't take too long but I do suggest getting some good tunes on to have a boogie too whilst unshelling - Heat Radio's 90s hour was my choice today!

Step Two



Put the unshelled pistachios in a freezer bag and bash them with something heavy - I used a ladle ha ha but a rolling pin would also be could. The pieces should be quite small as we will be cutting the fudge into bite size pieces!

Step Three



Place the chocolate, butter, salt and condensed milk into a pan and melt slowly until it looks like this silky mixture of goodness


Step Four




Add the pistachios to the mixture and then pour into a square tin. Use a wet knife to smooth the surface and leave in the fridge to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Step Five



LICK THE SPOON

Step Six





Once set, cut into squares and you're done!

This is a cheeky Nigella Lawson recipe and honestly it is so so yummy! It's brilliant to pop into a Nice box as part of a birthday gift or to take into work to charm your co-workers (which I'm going to do tomorrow!)

Please let me know if you have a go!

Lots of Love
Nic
