In the spirit of Hestia, we believe the kitchen is the heart of the home’s sanctity. This Nutella fudge isn’t just a recipe; it’s an invitation to slow down. Crafted with the deep, roasted notes of Italian hazelnuts and a texture as smooth as polished stone, it is a small, sweet but salty, ceremony for your afternoon tea.
540g dark cooking chocolate
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
1 cup of Nutella
Sea salt
Add the chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl, and melt in the microwave in 30 second bursts. Stir at each interval to ensure consistent melting.
Once melted, add Nutella and mix until Nutella is well combined.
Add condensed milk and mix well. Note: the mix will begin to thicken quickly.
Once well mixed, spread quickly into pan. Dust with sea salt.
Refrigerate until firm. Slice into squares.
Now comes the most important ingredient: stillness. As the fudge sets, practice your own period of rest. The sweetness is earned through the passing of time. Use these hours not to 'get things done,' but to simply exist in the space you have created.
When you finally taste the fudge, don't chew immediately. Let it rest on your tongue. Notice the temperature, the weight, and the way the salt crystals spark against the sweetness. This is a small, private ceremony of joy.
