I already have one red velvet fudge recipe on my site, and while it is delicious, it is completely different from this recipe. (and I can proudly say that this recipe is original!)

Red Velvet Fudge

This recipe is easy! Plus it’s got real red velvet flavor, real ingredients, and is really pure awesomeness.

It came about quite by accident really. I was scrolling Pinterest and came upon a fudge recipe with store-bought frosting and a bag of chocolate chips. I personally can’t stomach store-bought frosting so I dismissed it. But then it occurred to me… why can’t I use my original Red Velvet Buttercream recipe and mix it with chocolate?

Every single ingredient can be organic or natural. Even the food coloring! (India Tree)

And I know I mentioned it already, but it tastes good!

I already have one red velvet fudge recipe on my site, and while it is delicious, it is completely different from this recipe. (and I can proudly say that both of these recipes are original!)

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 c confectioners sugar
  • 1 c cocoa powder
  • 12 tbsp. 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 c whole milk room temperature
  • 1 one-ounce bottle Red McCormick® food coloring
  • 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 12-ounce bag of milk chocolate chips or 12 ounces good quality chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. cocoa powder - optional

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and whisk for 2 minutes on high speed.
  • Turn the mixer off and add in sugar/cocoa mixture.
  • With mixer on low speed, add in milk, red food coloring and vinegar. (Carefully pour in food coloring into the center of the butter mixture)
  • Whisk on low/medium low speed until smooth.

To make fudge:

  • In the microwave in a large bowl, melt chocolate for 1 minutes, stir, then in 30 second increments until mostly melted.
  • Add 2 cups of red velvet frosting and stir until fully combined. (you will have some frosting left over.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months)
  • Press fudge into a 9x13 pan lined with parchment.
  • Chill for 2 hours.
  • When ready to serve cut into 1x1 pieces.
  • Right before serving sprinkle with cocoa powder. (cocoa will turn darker the longer it sits on the fudge)
