This makes an excellent Christmas food, it is also rather wonderful served after dinner with coffee.
Ingredients:
350g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids), chopped
400ml condensed milk
30g butter
pinch of salt
150g shelled pistachio nuts (make certain these are unsalted), crushed
Method:
Combine the chocolate, condensed milk, butter and salt into a heavy-bottomed pan. Set this over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted and blended with the other ingredients.
Place the nuts in a strong plastic bag and beat with a rolling pin until well broken (with some large and some small pieces). Stir the nuts into the chocolate mixture and stir well to combine.
Take off the heat then pour the mixture into a 23cm square baking dish, smoothing the top with a moistened palette knife to ensure it is smooth. Set in the refrigerator to chill and set.
When completely set, cut the fudge into small pieces (about 3cm square). Once cut, either serve the fudge immediately or store in the refrigerator (it can be served frozen).
