This delicious dessert is also the traditional Indian desert for the festival of light Diwali. Being so easy to make and so quick, it quickly became a popular desert worldwide. The Indians call it Pedha or Burfi (Barfi), and the Japanese name for the homemade chocolate fudge made with milk powder is Modak. They are slightly different, but basically they are both delicious milk powder fudge.

How do you make chocolate fudge from scratch?

1. Start by mixing powdered milk and cocoa until well combined, then sift through a fine sieve.
2. Mix sugar and water and bring to a rolling boil then add butter and keep boiling for a few minutes to thicken.
3. Remove from heat and immediately add the milk cocoa mix and walnuts or nuts of choice. Mix to combine well and no lumps left.
4. Pour into a prepared dish and transfer to the fridge until harden.
5. The easiest shaping is placing the melted fudge into a high pan and pressing it to fill the bottom. After cooling, just cut into squares or rectangles and serve. To make it fancier, place it into any nice mold: flowers, butterflies, Christmas themed, etc, or make small balls and serve them.
