Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp instant coffee granules (optional, for coffee flavor)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 1 tsp custom flavor extract of your choice (optional, e.g., hazelnut, almond, caramel)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Be patient to avoid burning the chocolate.
Step 4
If making coffee-flavored fudge, dissolve the instant coffee granules in 1 teaspoon of hot water, then stir it into the mixture.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and any optional flavor extract you prefer (e.g., hazelnut or almond).
Step 6
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Step 8
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 24 small squares.
Step 9
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve cold or bring to room temperature before enjoying!
