Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Kahlua, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
If using chopped nuts, gently fold them into the mixture to distribute evenly.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a rubber spatula. Smooth out the top to ensure a neat finish.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is firm enough to cut.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into small squares using a sharp knife.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best flavor.
