fudgier

Fudgier is the comparative form of fudgy, used to describe a texture or consistency that resembles fudge: dense, soft, and rich. The word is derived from fudge and is commonly used in baking and food writing to distinguish varying levels of fudge-like texture among desserts and confections.

In practice, a fudgier product is more indulgent and less cake-like than items described as fudgy-lite or cakey. Achieving a fudgier texture typically involves a higher fat and moisture content, a richer chocolate or cocoa presence, and less aeration or leavening. It is frequently used to describe brownies, cookies, and bars with a melt-in-the-mouth interior. The term appears in recipe instructions, product descriptions, and reviews, where cooks and writers compare textures rather than exact measurements. Fudgier is a relative term; the superlative form is fudgiest.
