Fudge Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Prep Your Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over for easy removal later. Set it aside while you prepare the fudge mixture.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and well blended.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Gradually sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder to avoid lumps, stirring continuously to incorporate it evenly into the chocolate mixture. The resulting blend should be velvety and uniform in texture.
- Pour and Set: Pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly so it sets uniformly.
- Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill the fudge for at least 2 hours until it is firm to the touch and easy to cut.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper edges to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into squares using a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep fresh.
Notes
- Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
- For a firmer fudge, chill overnight instead of just 2 hours.
- You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract while melting the chocolate for added flavor.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Allow fudge to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for a softer bite.
