Welcome back to another lactose free recipe. Today I am sharing with you another delicious Easter themed recipe. This week’s recipe celebrates my favourite part of easter, all the chocolate. Large chocolate fudge cakes decorated to look like birds’ nests. Topped with a chocolate easter egg and finished with a cute little flower.
This fudge is rich and quite sweet as it is made with milk chocolate. If drowning in sweetness is not quite your taste you can always use dark chocolate. This will help balance the sweetness more.

Instructions
-
Chocolate fudge
- Place the silicone mold tray onto the baking tray.
-
Place the condensed milk, sugar, glucose and margarine in a saucepan.
-
Place it on a low heat and stir. The mixture will look a little strange at first. Keep stirring until the margarine has melted and the sugar has dissolved. You will be able to tell when the sugar has dissolved by the sound of the spoon scraping against the bottom of the saucepan. It won’t have that gritty sound.
-
Increase the heat to a medium until the mixture has thickened slightly and the mixture starts to bubble. Decrease the heat and place it on a low heat.
- Cook for ten minutes while continuously stirring. There is a danger of the sugar burning so the stirring is important.
-
Add the chocolate to the mixture and turn off the heat.
-
Stir until the chocolate has been completely melted into the mixture.
-
Pour the fudge into the molds. Tap the tray a few times to release any air bubbles. Do this quickly but carefully. You don't want to disrupt the sugar too much or it will crystalize.
- Leave the fudge to set for 30 minutes. Place the fudge to completely set in the fridge for at least eight hours. Decorating
-
Gently remove the fudge from the molds. Place onto a clean tray with baking paper.
-
Color a decent amount of icing, brown with the gel food coloring.
-
Fit a piping bag with the grass piping tip and spoon in the brown icing.
- Grab the easter eggs and the little icing flowers.
-
Grab the tray of fudge and the icing. Start pressure so the icing forms long noodles. Pipe some noodles into the centre then pipe around the edge of the fudge circles. Keep swirling and piping around the edge until it forms a little nest.
-
Place an easter egg into the centre and add a little icing flower to the outside of the nest.
-
Congratulations you have now made adorable chocolate fudge easter nests.
-
Serve, devour and enjoy.
