Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to ensure there are no lumps.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and milk. Heat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, or until the butter is melted.
Stir the melted butter and milk mixture until smooth and well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the butter mixture, then pour it over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.
Mix thoroughly until a thick, smooth fudge batter forms. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Spread the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm and set.
Once fully set, cut the fudge into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
