FAQs

Can I use fresh strawberries instead of puree? Yes, you can use fresh strawberries. Just blend them until smooth and strain out the seeds before adding them to the fudge.

Can I make this fudge with dark or milk chocolate? Yes, you can use dark or milk chocolate, but it will change the flavor and texture slightly. Make sure to adjust the amount of sweetened condensed milk for sweetness balance.

Why is my fudge too soft? If your fudge is too soft, it might need more chilling time. Make sure it has set properly in the fridge before cutting it.
