You can make incredibly rich, melt-in-your-mouth homemade fudge with just three simple ingredients. This quick fudge dessert delivers classic, creamy texture without complicated steps, making it perfect for last-minute cravings or holiday treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
  3. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. This usually takes about 1 to 1.5 minutes total.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Quickly pour the mixture into your prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
  7. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips.
  • If you prefer a different flavor, substitute peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chips.
  • For a classic, old-fashioned fudge texture, let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cutting, though refrigeration speeds up the process.
