Fudge Swirl Whipped Cream Food

COFFEE AND FUDGE SEMIFREDDO

Steps:

• Line a loaf pan (9-by-5-inch works best) with plastic wrap, letting the edges hang over and allowing enough extra plastic to wrap the semifreddo.
• In a large bowl, combine the instant coffee, coffee extract, vanilla and 1 pint of the heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to whip until medium to firm peaks form. Use a spatula to gently fold in the condensed milk. Transfer half of the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and freeze until just beginning to set, about 20 minutes.
• Microwave 1/2 cup of the hot fudge with the remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 to 25 seconds, just to loosen it slightly. Spoon it lengthwise down the center of the pan, from end to end.
• Transfer the remaining cream mixture to the loaf pan on top of the fudge. Use a butter knife to make swirls going through the mixture. (This will move the fudge throughout the mixture.) Wrap with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 6 hours.
• Before serving, let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile heat the remaining 1/4 cup fudge. Unwrap the plastic, invert onto a serving plate and remove the plastic entirely. Drizzle with the hot fudge and sprinkle with the chopped espresso beans. Slice and serve immediately.

WHIPPED FUDGE

Steps:

• Directions.
• Bring evaporated milk sugar and butter to a hard rolling boil on medium heat.
• I use a non-stick Dutch oven and a long handled wooden spoon. Boil for five minutes -stirring constantly so mixture does not BURN!
• Also, take a stick of butter around the rim of your Dutch oven before cooking your milk/sugar/butter -- Stops it from boiling over, plus it makes sure that all of the sugar gets incorporated -- No grainy bits left in your mix!
• Now for the fun part!
• Chips, nuts, flavoring in large PLASTIC bowl!
• Pour the hot mixture of milk/sugar/butter over the chips, nuts and flavoring.
• USE ELECTRIC HAND MIXER: Start with mixer on low to blend ingredients & then 5 minutes on high. You can also mix it to start off with your wooden spoon and then use hand mixer to finish. This will make the most incredibly light airy delicious decadent fudge you have ever had.
• NO MARSHMALLOW STICKY STUFF TO CLEAN UP!
• Whipping the fudge with the electric mixer eliminates the marshmallow-it is just more sugar and air! The mixer takes care of adding the air to your fudge. It's better for you as you are not adding more sugar.
• I also have added a large Hershey's candy bar-(broken into bits) with the chocolate chips for added richness. You can add any kind of bar you would like (white chocolate etc).
• Pour mixture into 9x13 greased pan -- Spray or buttered, or wax paper lined. Glass or metal. I have even used the bottom of my broiler pan.
• Let cool for at least 30 minutes. You can then cut it and turn it out if you want. I let this fudge cool for at least another 4 hours to set up thoroughly.
• Set it outside if it's really cold, but cover it with plastic or a kitchen towel somewhere safe!
• I have prepared this recipe using many different ingredients-it is fun to experiment and try new flavors together.
• Crushed candy canes, orange extract, almond extract and almonds, coconut, Maraschino cherries, cranberries, peanut butter and butterscotch, white chocolate chips, mint chips -- be brave -- explore your options!
• My husband loves the peanut butter and milk chocolate chips together for this fudge.
• Happy Holidays and Enjoy -- DIANA!

VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH CHOCOLATE FUDGE SWIRL

Steps:

• Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Fudge Swirl:.
• In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, evaporated milk and salt. With a stand mixer, beat until stiff peaks form gradually increasing speed to high, as mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in sweetened condensed milk starting mixer speed at low and gradually increasing it to high. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla extract. Beat until it is well blended, maintaining stiff peaks. Spread one-third of the ice cream onto the bottom of a freezer-safe container. Spread half of the fudge swirl over ice cream. Spread one-third of the ice cream over the fudge swirl. Spread half of the fudge swirl over ice cream. Spread remaining one-third ice cream over the fudge swirl. With a knife, gently swirl the ice cream with the fudge swirl back and forth about two times. Cover tightly. Freeze until firm and completely solid, about 8-10 hours.
• Fudge Swirl:.
• Place heavy whipping cream and semisweet chocolate chips in a double-boiler. Stir until all of the chocolate chips have melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool completely. Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
