Description
This quick and easy chocolate fudge recipe is rich and creamy, made with milk powder and cocoa for a sweet treat ready in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- Everyday milk powder 200gm-1 packet.(only use everyday brand)
- Sugar-1 cup (200 ml cup)
- water-1/2 cup (120 ml).
- Cadbury’s cocoa powder-1/4 cup (60 ml).
- Butter-1/4 cup/50 gms.
- Vanilla essence-1 or 2 drops.
- Crushed cashew nuts-little.(optional,)
- Colored sweet balls or silver balls for decoration.(optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until it reaches a one-string consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes. To check, take a small drop between your thumb and forefinger and stretch; it should form a single thread.
- Once the syrup reaches the desired consistency, turn off the heat and immediately add 1/4 cup butter, stirring until it melts completely.
- Stir in 1/4 cup Cadbury’s cocoa powder and mix well until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Add 200g of Everyday milk powder and mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Finally, add 1-2 drops of vanilla essence and stir to combine.
- Pour the fudge mixture into a greased or lined tray, spreading it evenly. Optionally, sprinkle crushed cashews on top for garnish.
- Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until set, then cut into squares and serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the “one-string consistency” and how do I test for it?
The recipe calls for simmering the 1 cup sugar and ½ cup water syrup for 5–7 minutes until it reaches one-string consistency. To test, let a small drop cool slightly on your fingertip, then press your thumb and forefinger together and slowly pull them apart — the syrup should stretch into a single thin thread. If the thread breaks immediately, the syrup needs more time; this stage is essential for getting the fudge to set properly.
Why does the recipe specifically call for Everyday brand milk powder?
Both the ingredients list and the notes emphasize using only the Everyday brand (200g) for best results. This Indian full-cream milk powder has a specific fat and protein content that affects how the fudge sets and its final texture; substituting a different brand may result in a mixture that doesn’t firm up correctly.
Yes,milk powder is mentioned but not used during the recipe.
