Important Ingredients For Gulkand Fudge
Let’s have look at some important ingredients needed for this recipe
White chocolate– the recipe calls for white couverture chocolate as it has better quality and flavor due to presence of cocoa butter in it. We would recommend using the same chocolate.
Condensed milk – this sweet Ingredient is used in various cakes and desserts. It’s one of the major ingredient used in fudge. It’s because of condensed milk that the fudge gets a gooey texture and caramelized flavor.
Gulkand– to incorporate gulkand flavor we have used traditional gulkand instead of any essence. You can easily get it at any Paan store.
Rose – in this dessert, rose flavor is incorporated in two ways. First rose petals are used in the fudge. And the rose essence is added in the buttercream.
