Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Butter (melted)
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare an 8x8-inch pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to ensure easy fudge removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, and continue to mix until fully incorporated and free of lumps.
Step 4
Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into the bowl, and mix it with the cream cheese and sugar mixture until smooth and well blended.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and melted butter, and mix thoroughly to create a rich and glossy fudge mixture.
Step 6
If using chopped nuts, fold them into the fudge mixture using a spatula for an added crunch.
Step 7
Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.
Step 9
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 24 squares using a sharp knife.
Step 10
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
