Is fudge better with condensed milk or evaporated milk?Unfortunately, you cannot use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk in fudge. You can substitute evaporated milk for regular milk in many instances, but it will not give the same rich, creamy taste that you get from the sweetened condensed milk.
Why is my hot fudge sauce grainy?Hot fudge sauce can become grainy when it is overcooked and the chocolate is scorched. It can also happen if you're using semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of cocoa powder in this recipe, which requires tempering before adding. Next time, try mixing in a tablespoon of butter, and cooling the fudge more slowly.
How long does condensed milk fudge last?Condensed milk fudge will last about 2 weeks at room temperature in an air tight container and about a month if refrigerated. You may individually wrap each fudge piece, place it in an air tight container and freeze it for 3-4 months.
Is chocolate syrup the same as hot fudge sauce?Difference Between Hot Fudge and Chocolate Syrup
Hot fudge has a thicker consistency and is typically made of cream, sugar, chocolate, butter and vanilla. It is rich and decadent in taste. Chocolate syrup is typically made with corn syrup (or sugar), unsweetened cocoa powder, water, salt and vanilla.
