Notes

TIPS & NOTES:
  • Consistency: Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick to blend, scrape down the sides and blend again before adding any liquid, as too much moisture can affect how well the fudge sets.
  • Sweetness: The sweetness will depend on your chocolate and liquid sweetener. I'd recommend following the recipe quantities for the best balance of flavor and texture.
  • Chocolate Choice: Dark chocolate gives the fudge a rich chocolate flavor and helps it firm up when chilled. Milk chocolate can be used for a sweeter result, but the final texture may differ.
  • Add-Ins: Try adding a little smooth peanut butter, peppermint extract, or a pinch of flaky sea salt for a different flavor. Keep in mind that additional ingredients may affect the texture.
  • Storage: For the firmest consistency, store the fudge in an airtight, freezer-safe container in the freezer. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating so it softens slightly.
 
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your fudge will come out perfectly.
