Fudge Bottom Fantasy
Ingredients:
For the fudge layer:
– 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk
– 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
For the creamy layer:
– 1 package (8 oz) of cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1 cup of heavy cream
For the topping:
– Whipped cream
– Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the fudge layer. In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
2. Pour the fudge mixture into a square baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a smooth layer at the bottom. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the creamy layer.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and carefully spread the creamy layer over the fudge layer. Use a spatula to create an even surface.
6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the dessert is set and firm.
7. Once chilled, remove the Fudge Bottom Fantasy from the refrigerator and add a dollop of whipped cream on top. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or sprinkles for an extra touch of elegance.
8. Slice into squares and serve your Fudge Bottom Fantasy to delighted guests or savor each bite for a moment of blissful indulgence.
