Ingredients

• 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
• 3 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp Instant espresso powder
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or almonds)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semisweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the instant espresso powder, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated.

Step 5

If you're adding chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture now for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula to create a level surface.

Step 7

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 15–20 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Step 8

Once set, use the parchment paper or foil overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan onto a cutting board.

Step 9

Cut the fudge into 16 squares or smaller bite-sized pieces as desired, and serve.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
