Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 400 grams granulated sugar
- 300 milliliters sweetened condensed milk
- 250 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy removal.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the granulated sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Stir constantly with a heat-resistant spatula until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Turn the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring continuously to prevent burning. Allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the chopped dark chocolate. Continue mixing until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely (about 2-3 hours).
Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment overhang and cut it into 25 small squares or your desired serving size.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
