Ingredients

• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 4 ounces Unsweetened chocolate
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by lining an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving extra over the edges for easy removal later.

Step 2

Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and place them into a large mixing bowl to soften.

Step 3

Melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or by microwaving in 20-second increments, stirring between intervals, until smooth and fully combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 4

Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the cream cheese, mixing continuously until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed initially and then increasing to high speed to ensure a smooth fudge-like consistency.

Step 8

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans using a rubber spatula.

Step 9

Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spatula.

Step 10

Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours (or until firm) before slicing into 16 squares.

Step 11

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
