Mocha Fudge #SundaySupper

Mocha Fudge is a simple, delicious chocolate fudge recipe made in less than 10 minutes using only 3 ingredients!

Before I tell you about this Mocha Fudge recipe, I have to tell you about the first Valentine’s Day that Mike and I celebrated together.  I had the day off of work, so I planned to make a special dinner.  Artichoke Crostini, filet mignon with a red wine sauce, salad with homemade vinaigrette and chocolate mousse were on the menu.  I had the entire day to shop, cook and get everything ready.  Easy right?  Well, I should also mention that it happened to be my first time making all of the recipes (except for the vinaigrette, which is an original).

I had everything prioritized to get as much done ahead of time as possible – bread was toasted, salad was tossed, vinaigrette was made. I figured it would be easy to make the chocolate mousse ahead of time too.  Everything was going great until….while I was making the mousse, the chocolate seized!  I tried to fix it, but as it was my first time making it clearly I had no clue what I was doing 🙂  I did not have an alternative dessert planned, so had to think fast and get creative. Valentine’s dinner is simply not complete without dessert (or chocolate)!  I scoured my pantry, found condensed milk and chocolate chips.  I added a little espresso powder, and in 10 minutes, whipped together a simple Mocha Fudge recipe that would be perfectly chilled in time for the end of dinner. The rest of dinner was a success, and Mocha Fudge ended up the perfect dessert to go with the meal.

Mocha Fudge has a deep chocolate flavor with a hint of coffee.  It is smooth and rich without being over the top.  Needless to say, Mocha Fudge is an easy dessert that can be made using ingredients found in your pantry.  Perfect for a last minute treat, to make for a special someone or quickly satisfy a chocolate fix!

This week for Sunday Supper, we are celebrating Valentine’s Day with a special someone…Gallo Family Vineyards!  The theme is (obviously) Valentine’s Day Wine Pairings.  The group is sharing unique Valentine’s Day recipes that everyone will love, from a delicious brunch to appetizers for two to a decadent dinner to a special dessert.

Each of these recipes will be paired with either Gallo’s Sweet Red or Riesling wines.   These wines are smooth, fruity and so versatile that they can go well with savory or sweet foods (from appetizers to dessert).  The Sweet Red is a delightful pair with Mocha Fudge, as is the Riesling. Enjoy the wonderful recipes below, and I hope you find something special to make for your Valentine’s Day!
