Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Peanut butter (smooth)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare an 8-inch square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides to easily lift out the fudge later.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the peanut butter and stir until fully integrated and smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually add the powdered sugar, a little bit at a time, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. The mixture will become thick and resemble a smooth fudge consistency.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Smooth out the top of the fudge and allow it to cool to room temperature for 20-30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once the fudge is fully set, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 16 squares or desired portions and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
