Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper to make removing the fudge easier once it’s set.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract.
- Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each round, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a rubber spatula.
- Refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Once set, lift the parchment paper from the pan, cut the fudge into small squares, and enjoy. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for maximum freshness.
Notes
Serve the fudge chilled for the best texture and flavor. If you prefer a softer consistency, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. To store, place pieces in an airtight container lined with parchment paper between layers. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. When freezing, wrap each piece in wax paper and thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
