Chai Fudge
Ingredients:
- 2 tsp loose or 2 teabags Chai tea
- 3 cups chocolate chips either semi-sweet or milk chocolate (18.6 ounces) see note 1
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
In medium saucepan combine tea with condensed milk. Bring to a simmer and steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea.
Line an 8 inch by 8 inch baking dish with aluminim foil or two pieces of parchment paper overlapping to make an X.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and tea infused condensed milk.
Place the pan over medium low heat. Stir consistently until the chocolate is partially melted. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Continue stirring until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and starts to turn shiny.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. It will be very thick. Gently shake the pan back and forth to help it settle. You can also use a rubber spatula to spread it.
Allow the fudge to completely set at room temperature – approximately four hours.
Remove fudge from the pan and take off the aluminum foil. Trim off the rounded edges from the pan. Cut the fudge in half one way and then the other to make four equal squares. Cut each small square into 9 equal pieces by cutting into thirds one way and then the other. This will result in 36 equal pieces of fudge.
