An easy recipe for chai tea fudge. It is made my steeping 4 chai tea bags in the milk used to make the fudge creating a flavorful Chai Tea Fudge Recipe.

This easy recipe for Chai Tea Fudge really uses Chai Tea to flavor the fudge. You start by steeping 4 tea bags in the evaporated milk that will be used to make the fudge. All the little specs you see in the fudge are actually spices that came out during the steeping process. It is incredibly flavorful!

Chai Tea Fudge Recipe - a delicious fudge recipe made using chai tea

Options:

If you want to make a Vanilla Chai Tea Fudge, then add a teaspoon of vanilla after stirring in the white chocolate.

If you don’t have chai tea, but want to create a Chai Spiced Fudge, then skip the steps 1 and 2 and add the following spices to step 3:

  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cardamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Cardamon is the spice that creates the unique “Chai” flavor, but it is rather expensive. fortunately, a little goes a long way. If you want to add some cardamon to your spice cupboard, many of the grocery stores have sales on spices near the holidays making it a great time to pick up some of the more expensive spices.

    I steeped 4 bags of chai tea in the hot milk for 5 minutes as per the recipe, but felt like it didn’t have much chai flavor. Any suggestions on how to get a stronger flavor?

      Did you squeeze all the liquid out of the bags?

      You can always add a 1/2 teaspoon of cardamon and a 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to bump up the chai flavor.

    I made this today and it was absolutely delicious! Such a good idea to use the subtle chai flavour in this marshmallowy fudge.

    hi, this looks delicious! I was thinking about making this and mailing it to my daughter who is in university. Does this make a soft fudge or firm? I am thinking with marshmallow fluff it may be a bit on the soft side? Thanks!

      It makes a fairly firm fudge. When I mail it, I pour it into tins while it is still warm and then let it set in the refrigerator for a couple hours. Once cool, I place a lid on the tin and ship.

    Do you have any substitutes for evaporated milk? It doesn’t seem like a very healthy option

      You can use almond milk or vanilla almond milk if you wish. I use Vanilla Almond Milk when I make fudge for my oldest son who is lactose intolerant.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
