Ingredients
- 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons orange cordial
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams crushed digestive biscuits
- 50 grams sprinkles or cocoa powder (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chopped dark chocolate, and unsalted butter. Place over low heat and stir continuously until the chocolate and butter have melted and the mixture is smooth and velvety.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the orange cordial, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3
Add the crushed digestive biscuits to the chocolate mixture and stir well until evenly combined. The mixture should resemble a thick, dough-like consistency.
Step 4
Cover the saucepan with cling film or transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the chilled mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands.
Step 6
Roll each ball in sprinkles or cocoa powder to coat, depending on your preference. Place the finished fudge balls on a tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 7
Refrigerate the Orange Cordial Fudge Balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Step 8
Store the fudge balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
