Chocolate & Walnut Fudge Recipe

There’s nothing better than a soft, gooey and abundantly chocolatey Walnut Fudge. It’s perfect for any dessert craving and also for holiday gifting. 

My Fantasy Fudge and Cookie and Cream Fudge recipes were a big hit. Everyone loved the amazing dessert. And since then, I have been getting requests to make a walnut fudge. Obviously, I had to oblige. 

While making fudge may seem too easy, there are a few things that go wrong that will make the whole dessert not so pleasing. This recipe is a full-proof one that will help you get those perfect fudge bites every time you make them. 

I find chocolate fudge a great gifting dessert. For one, it has a better shelf-life than other desserts. Plus, it’s chocolate, which is loved by all.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe? 

  • Smooth Fudge: If a fudge is not silky, smooth and does not have melt-in-the-mouth type of texture, then it’s not a good fudge. I love this recipe because it has a great smooth texture to it, which you cannot resist. 
  • Easy To Make: All you need is five ingredients, and you can make the most decadent fudge of all time. The process is simple, and it’s ready in 4 hours, unlike other recipes, which require a minimum of 8 hours of freezing time. 
  • Perfect For Any Occasion: Whether you have guests coming over or you want to gift sweet treats to your loved ones, this fudge is absolutely perfect for any occasion. 

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • Condensed Milk: No eggless fudge is complete without condensed milk. It plays a significant role in its flavour and texture. The sweetness and chewiness come from condensed milk. 
  • Dark Chocolate: If you want everyone to fall in love with this fudge, then use the best Belgian dark chocolate available in your city. I prefer the Van Houten or Callebaut brand with 46.5% cocoa mass. The cocoa butter present in couverture chocolate gives authentic and true chocolate flavour. 
  • Walnuts: Adding a crunch and nutty flavour to the fudge, walnuts have been added. Use good quality walnuts, as bad ones can add bitterness to the fudge. 
  • Butter: Adding butter to the fudge makes it smoother and shinier. It enhances the buttery flavour of the fudge. 
  • Natural Cocoa Powder: Like truffles, I like dusting some cocoa powder on the fudge, which gives a nice contrast to its sweetness. 

How To Make Chocolate Walnut Fudge

Preparation: Collect the ingredients, tools and equipment needed for making the fudge. Cling wrap a 6-inch square ring twice from one end. 

Melt Chocolate, Condensed Milk and Butter: In a bowl, take Chopped dark chocolate, condensed milk and butter. Melt all three together in the microwave. Keep stirring the mixture in between to ensure even heating. Melt and mix until you get a homogeneous mixture. 

Add Walnuts: Chip walnuts and add them to the fudge mixture. Fold them well so that they are evenly distributed in the batter. 

Cool: Let the mixture cool down a little before setting it. 

Freeze: Transfer the mixture into the prepared square ring and spread the fudge using a bent palette knife. Put the fudge in the freeze for 3-4 hours. 

Cut in Portions: Once the fudge is set, remove the cling wrap from the bottom. Run a heat gun or blow dryer on the outside edge of the ring to remove the ring as well. Cut the fudge into nine even squares using a warm knife. 

Serve: Dust the fudge pieces with some natural cocoa powder and serve the delicious dessert. 

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Make Neat Cuts To Serve

While cutting the fudge into nine portions, make sure that you are making sharp and even cuts. For that purpose, use a warm knife so the knife will glide through the fudge. 

Make A Smooth Fudge Mixture

While making the initial fudge mixture, you can either use a microwave or a double boiler to heat it up. Either way, you have to ensure that the mixture is smooth and lump-free. 

How To Store Chocolate Walnut Fudge

You may store the fudge cling-wrapped and in an airtight box at room temperature if the temperature is below 25°C. 

Above that temperature, you must store the fudge in an airtight box in the refrigerator and consume it within 2-3 weeks. 

Storing it in the freezer will increase the shelf life to a month. 

Never store the fudge without any wrap or an airtight box, as it will attract moisture and become sticky.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
