1. Fudge Squares

Ingredients

• 1 can condensed milk
• 2 cup Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Optional: chopped almonds or crushed biscuits

Instructions

1. Take a square tin, a small one and line it with parchment paper, leaving extra overhanging on the sides for easy lifting later.
2. Take a heavy-bottomed saucepan, and pour in the condensed milk and heat it over low flame. Stir often to keep it from sticking or burning.
3. Add the chopped Silk chocolate to the pan. Stir the concoction slowly but continuously as the chocolate begins to melt into the condensed milk.
4. Once fully melted and glossy, pour the vanilla extract and mix. You should have a smooth and thick concoction at the end.
5. Pour the hot fudge into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly and smooth the top.
6. Sprinkle with any toppings (nuts or cookie crumbs) and press them down into the fudge to embed them well.
7. Refrigerate the fudge for 2-3 hours, until the fudge is soft but firm.
8. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the overhanging paper and turn it over to a cutting board. Peel off the paper and slice into neat squares, and serve.

2. Silk Chocolate Rasmalai

Ingredients

• 6-8 rasmalai pieces
• 1/2 can condensed milk
• 100 gm Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
• Garnish: grated chocolate, chopped pistachios, rose petals

Instructions

1. Take a small saucepan, pour the condensed milk and regular milk into it and heat it over medium-low flame, stirring until it is warm. Make sure it does not boil.
2. Add the chopped Silk chocolate into the warm milk mixture and stir until fully melted. You should end up with a thick, creamy chocolate close to the consistency of rabri.
3. Add the cardamom powder and a few drops of rose water into the saucepan and mix. Taste and adjust to your preference.
4. Arrange the rasmalai pieces in a wide serving dish or individual bowls. Pour the warm chocolate sauce over them, making sure each piece is fully covered.
5. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours. The rasmalai will soak up the chocolate cream and become even softer.
6. Just before serving, garnish with chopped pistachios, grated Silk chocolate, and rose petals for an elegant presentation.

3. Silk Chocolate Mousse Cups

Ingredients

• 100 gm Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk chocolate, chopped
• 1/3 cup condensed milk
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Optional: instant coffee powder, pinch of salt
• Garnish: chocolate shavings, crushed nuts, or fresh berries

Instructions

1. Use a double boiler method to melt the chopped chocolate. Add it to a heatproof bowl, place it over a small saucepan with simmering water (make sure the bowl isn’t touching the water). Or, microwave the chocolate for 2-3 minutes, pausing every 20 seconds until smooth.
2. Once melted, set aside the chocolate bowl, to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes. Then stir in the condensed milk and mix until glossy. Add a tiny pinch of salt or coffee powder, if using.
3. Take a separate bowl, add the cream, whip with a hand mixer or stand mixer, with whisks attached until soft peaks form.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-condensed milk mixture using a spatula. Do this in stages, being careful not to deflate the air too much.
5. Once the mixture is uniform and fluffy, spoon or pipe it into small cups or ramekins.
6. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set. This will help the mousse firm up while remaining soft and creamy inside.
7. Top with chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or nuts just before serving.
