Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 whole Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.
Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten each into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the fudge filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll one dough disc into a rectangle approximately ¼ inch thick. Repeat with the second disc.
Slice each dough rectangle into 2-inch wide strips.
Spoon a line of cooled fudge filling down the center of each strip, leaving a small border on the edges.
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch the seams to seal. Place the filled strips seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the dessert strips with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the strips are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow the strips to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cooled dessert strips with powdered sugar before serving.
