Ingredients
- 400 g Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 397 g Sweetened condensed milk
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 50 g Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or almonds)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and unsalted butter over low heat. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Add the chopped dark chocolate to the saucepan. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is glossy and smooth.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If using nuts, gently fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Step 6
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Allow the fudge to cool slightly before transferring it to the refrigerator. Let it chill 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 squares or your desired serving size.
Step 9
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
