Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 6 oz White chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Orange zest
- 1 tsp Pure orange extract
- 1 cup Macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Stir the mixture constantly with a heatproof spatula until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture is completely smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the orange zest, pure orange extract, salt, and chopped macadamia nuts. Mix until evenly distributed.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with the spatula.
Gently tap the pan on the counter a few times to eliminate any air bubbles and ensure the fudge is evenly leveled.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the fudge from the pan and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 16 equal squares (or smaller pieces if preferred).
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
