NO PUDGE CHOCOLATE FUDGE....Low Fat
Chocoholics unite and rejoice!
Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar
6 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup evaporated 2% milk
3 tbsp. butter, divided
2 tbsp. light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
Fill sink with 1/2 inch of cool water. Line bottom of a 9x5-inch loaf pan
with a piece of wax paper that sticks up 2 inches at the ends of pan (so
you can lift the fudge out of the pan when it's ready). Set aside.
Combine sugar, cocoa, evaporated milk, 2 tbsp. butter and corn syrup in a
medium saucepan. Place over medium-low heat. Cook slowly, stirring often, until
sugar is completely dissolved and butter is melted. Mixture should be very
smooth. This takes about 10 minutes.
Increase heat to medium-high. Insert candy thermometer at this point, if
you're using one. Bring mixture to a boil. Boil until fudge reaches the
"soft ball stage," stirring occasionally. This stage is usually reached
anywhere between 234 and 240 degrees F. Remove immediately from heat. Place
pot in sink. Make sure water only comes up 1/2 inch on side of pot (you
don't want to cool it too quickly). Add remaining 1 tbsp. butter and
vanilla. DO NOT STIR YET.
Allow fudge to cool for 5 minutes in water. Lift from sink and let fudge
cool at room temperature for another 20 minutes (if you're using a
thermometer, let the fudge cool to 110 degrees F.). When you press down
lightly on the fudge it should indent a little. A "skin" will have formed
on top. This is good.
Using a wooden spoon and a bit of muscle, begin to stir the fudge. Stop
stirring and observe the fudge every once in a while. You're looking for it
to lose its shine, lighten slightly in color, and become thicker. Repeat
stirring and observing until these changes take place.
Spread fudge into prepared pan. Refrigerate until fudge is "set," about 1
hour. Run knife around edge of pan and lift out fudge by holding on to wax
paper. Slice into 16 rectangular chunks. Store covered in fridge.
Makes 16 pieces.
