Cream Cheese Fudge

 

Ingredients:

6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons cream or milk
4 cups confectioners sugar
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted (I like to use Baker’s Premium Baking Bar)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon rum (optional)
dash of salt
1 ½ cups chopped
pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Beat cheese and cream until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar, blend in chocolate. Stir in vanilla, rum, salt and 1 cup nuts.
  2. Press into a lightly greased 8-inch square pan. Cover top with remaining nuts.
  3. Chill until firm enough to cut (about 15 minutes). Cut into 1-inch squares. Makes one pound.

Tip: Use parchment to line the pan so you can easily lift out the fudge to cut it.
