We have already reached the last day of the first month of this year. Time has just flown by and I have been away from the blogging scene for over two weeks now. Besides being busy, laziness crept up and a few other issues required urgent attention, thereby making it impossible to blog. Now I am back to doing what I simply love doing – blogging a post from my drafts! Lol!

Well, yes, this post was created during Christmas 2012 and never got posted in time. It would be such a shame to leave it in my drafts for longer than a month – which is exactly what happened, but then since its something you don’t require an occasion for, I decided to post it. I found this simple recipe on Chef in You when I was busy hunting for recipes to put my large sack of unsalted pistachios to good use. Salted ones never make it into any dish as they get eaten up by the husband pretty easily and quickly. It’s the unsalted ones that have no takers. I had a good amount remaining in my pantry even after I tried out the Pistachio Fudge/Pista Burfi and I think this recipe was among the simplest that could help make a very delicious lite bite in a jiffy – perfect for the festive season, perfect for gifting.

We have a Christmas tradition at home that includes gifting handmade goodies to very close friends here in Mumbai. However, this time I was unable to make anything fancy because of my new role of being a mother of two. Tiny baby kept me really busy and this recipe came to my rescue as it hardly took any time to put together. It was so simple to make it that I made it twice in a span of a few hours.

Since I am among those who love nuts in their chocolate, especially the dark cocoa variety, I thoroughly enjoyed making it and eating it as well. However since the lil fellow hates nuts in his chocolate and the husband hates chocolates in general and the tiny baby is yet to taste chocolate I gladly ate everyone’s share.Now that V Day is just around the corner, it is definitely one of the goodies you can make for that special someone! When refrigerated it lasts for several days (if you can resist eating them!) – so you can make it in advance and serve whenever you please. The longer you refrigerate them, the longer they take to melt at room temperature – just in case you are worried about making handmade chocolate that usually melts in no time. So there, usher in a fun filled, romantic month of February with these babies!

About this dish
The good thing about this fudge is that it can taste exactly the way you want it to – just use your favourite brand of bitter sweet/dark chocolate and you have the satisfaction of having created a yummy chocolate fudge in the comfort of your home. Personally I prefer to use bitter chocolate that has at least 70% of cocoa. This is because you need to add condensed milk that will balance out the extra bitterness and lend the fudge just the right amount of sweetness. You may add an assortment of nuts if you wish, however, pistachios taste just as great.

      Hi Maureen,

      I never use condensed milk tins or any non standard measure for my baking or any other sweets. It is better to invest in a good kitchen weighing scale to get accurate results

        Hello Shireen
        Your chocolate pistachio fudge recipe says 200 gms of sweetened condensed milk. Since condensed milk is liquid what will I do here and how will I proceed. I love your site and try to try out many of your recipes. Pl find the time to reply to me. Thanks

          Hi Maureen,

          Apologies for the delay in responding. Well, the best way would be to use a weighing scale, otherwise, the 200 gms is almost the same as 200 ml…so you can use a measuring cup to measure the same. Hope it helps you!

    Hi Shireen
    Your chocolate Pistschio fudge recipe calls for 200 gms for 200 gms of condensed milk which is in liquid form. What will I do here to get the 200 gms from the condensed milk tin (milkmaid). Do you hv any alternate suggestions for me.

      Hi Maureen,

      I am not sure I understood your query. Do you want to know how to measure out the 200gms? I suggest you use a standard measuring cup. DO you want to know what to do with the remaining condensed milk? Please let me know so that I can help you

      You can store them for 5-6 days in airtight container in the fridge.

      Hi Stephanie,

      What kind of chocolate did you use? Yes, depending on the weather the chocolate may be slightly soft at room temperature. It is ok to refrigerate it and bring it out just before serving

      Hi Stephanie,

      I am not sure what could have gone wrong. Maybe the compound chocolate is not meant for such desserts. I really have no idea.
