Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14-ounce) can (396g) sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces (340g) chopped chocolate or chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk, or dark)
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)
Instructions
- Line a 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
- Finely chop 12 ounces (340g) of your chosen chocolate.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, add 2 tablespoons (28g) softened butter and 1 can (14-ounce/396g) sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chopped chocolate to the warm condensed milk mixture. Stir constantly with a heatproof spatula, keeping the heat low to prevent scorching. The chocolate should melt and blend smoothly within 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon).
- Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with the spatula.
- Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and let the fudge set for at least 1 hour or until firm.
- Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into small squares using a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried.
Notes
Keep heat low and stir constantly to avoid burning or seizing. Chop chocolate finely for even melting. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts. Let fudge set fully in the fridge before slicing. For dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use coconut-based sweetened condensed milk.
