Ingredients
Scale
- 4 1/2 c confectioners sugar
- 1 c cocoa powder
- 12 tbsp. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 c whole milk, room temperature
- 1 one-ounce bottle Red McCormick® food coloring
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1 12-ounce bag of milk chocolate chips or 12 ounces good quality chocolate, chopped
- 1 tbsp. cocoa powder – optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, sift together the confectioners’ sugar and cocoa powder.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and whisk for 2 minutes on high speed.
- Turn the mixer off and add in the sugar/cocoa mixture.
- With the mixer on low speed, add in milk, red food coloring, and vinegar (carefully pour the food coloring into the center of the butter mixture).
- Whisk on low/medium-low speed until smooth.
- In the microwave, melt chocolate in a large bowl for 1 minute, stir, then in 30-second increments until mostly melted.
- Add 2 cups of red velvet frosting and stir until fully combined (you will have some frosting left over; store in an airtight container for up to 3 months).
- Press fudge into a 9×13 pan lined with parchment.
- Chill for 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, cut into 1×1 pieces.
- Right before serving, sprinkle with cocoa powder (cocoa will turn darker the longer it sits on the fudge).
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Customize by adding nuts or sprinkles for a unique twist.
