Description
This recipe shows you how to make the ultimate foolproof chocolate fudge using only three simple ingredients. You get a classic, creamy texture that sets up perfectly every time. It is fast to make and ideal for beginners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
- Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. This usually takes about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
- Remove from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract quickly.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into small squares before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips.
- If you prefer a thicker fudge, use a 9×5 inch loaf pan instead of an 8×8 inch pan.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerated for longer.
- You can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or mini marshmallows for variation.
