How to Make the Ultimate Christmas Penuche Fudge

In a mixing bowl, start by beating 1 cup of heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Once it thickens, sift in 2 Tbsp of cocoa powder and add 2 Tbsp of powdered sugar. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

Next, mix in 1 tsp of vanilla extract to give the whipped cream a rich and flavorful taste.

Then, spoon or pipe the chocolate whipped cream into small dollops onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop these dollops into the freezer for at least 4 hours to set.

Once the whipped cream is frozen, it’s time to melt 2 cups of chocolate chips with 1 Tbsp of coconut oil. You can do this using a double boiler or in the microwave. Make sure the chocolate is nice and smooth for dipping.

Carefully dip the frozen whipped cream bites into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely covered. The contrast of the creamy filling and the rich chocolate coating is absolutely divine!

Place the chocolate-covered bites back on the parchment paper and let them freeze until the chocolate sets. Once they’re all set, these fudge bites are ready to enjoy!

You can indulge in these delightful treats immediately, or store them in the freezer until serving. They make the perfect holiday dessert or a sweet little pick-me-up any time of year. Enjoy!
