Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
  • 8-inch square baking pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. You can also lightly grease the pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes total.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract once the mixture is smooth.
  4. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
  6. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper, cut into squares or rectangles, and serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For vegan fudge, use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut cream instead of sweetened condensed milk.
  • Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
  • Fudge can be frozen for up to three months; layer pieces between parchment paper.
