Description
Ultra-creamy 3 ingredient chocolate fudge made with chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter for a rich, smooth, no-bake treat.
Ingredients
2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter
Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: chopped nuts, crushed candy canes, or sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions
1. Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square pan with parchment paper, letting it overhang for easy lifting.
2. Add the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter to a medium saucepan.
3. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is completely melted, smooth, and glossy.
4. Remove from the heat and, if using, stir in vanilla extract or other flavorings.
5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Chill in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
7. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment, cut into 25–36 squares, and serve.
Notes
For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate chips, coconut sweetened condensed milk, and plant-based butter or coconut oil.
Do not overheat the chocolate mixture; keep the heat low and stir constantly to prevent scorching and graininess.
You can add chopped nuts, crushed cookies, or mini marshmallows to the fudge before chilling for extra texture.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Let chilled fudge sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for the creamiest texture.
