How to make chocolate fudge stars?
Melt the butter and condensed milk using a double-boiler technique. Once warm, add the chocolate and stir continuously until silky smooth.
Spoon the hot fudge mixture into a star-shaped silicone mold. Press down gently to level each star and add sprinkles on top if you like!
Place in the fridge for at least 3 hours (or overnight) so the stars set perfectly. Pop them out of the mold and watch them disappear!
Equipment
For shaping the chocolate fudge stars, use a star-shaped silicone mould. I used a silicone ice cube tray from Coles, which worked perfectly.
Variations
- Swap dark chocolate for your favourite chocolate bar.
- Don't have a star mold? Spread the fudge in a tray, chill, then use a cookie cutter to cut out stars later.
- Add desiccated coconut or crushed nuts for texture.
- Decorate with mini candies, M&Ms, or even royal icing!
Storage
Store these no-bake sweet treats in the refrigerator, where they stay fresh for 4-5 days.
Since these chocolate fudge stars contain butter and chocolate, leaving them at room temperature for long periods can cause them to soften or melt. For best results, always keep them refrigerated.
However, if you live in a cooler climate or the weather is cold, they can be kept on the counter for 2-3 days.
FAQs
Chocolate fudge usually turns dry due to insufficient fat content. This often happens when the ingredients are not measured according to the recipe instructions.
Yes, you can melt all the ingredients in the microwave. Be extra vigilant to avoid overheating the ingredients.
There are a few common reasons why fudge stars may not turn out tidy:
The star mould may not be filled properly, leaving gaps in the edges.
The mixture needs to be pressed down firmly to help it take the exact star shape. Skipping this step can affect the final look.
Overfilling the moulds can also cause uneven edges, so be sure to wipe away any excess fudge.
The fudge may not have been given enough time to set completely before unmoulding.
No, you don't need to grease silicone molds for fudge, as these are non-stick. Moreover, these are so flexible that fudge comes out easily without adhering to the surfaces.
