5 Minute Chocolate Fudge
This 5 Minute Chocolate Fudge is a quick, no-bake dessert recipe that yields silky, rich fudge perfect for last-minute treats, holiday gift boxes, or cozy nights in!
Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt sea salt or kosher
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional (walnuts or pecans)
- sea salt flakes optional, for topping
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on two sides, then lightly grease the foil with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter; give it a quick stir so nothing clumps.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir vigorously; if any lumps remain, heat in 15-second bursts and stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, adjusting to taste; for a Mexican-style twist, add a light dusting of cayenne pepper.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, then use a spatula to smooth the top evenly for neat, professional-looking edges.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or freeze for 15 minutes) until the fudge is firm to the touch.
- Lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang, then slice into 16 squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean lines.
Notes
For a nut-free version, skip the chopped nuts and finish with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes; leftovers keep in an airtight container refrigerated for up to two weeks or frozen for up to three months.
