fudge recipe with condensed milk Cocoa Ribbon and Walnut Crown
- Total Time: 145 minutes
- Yield: 16–25 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
Description
This easy fudge recipe with condensed milk features a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a delightful crunch of walnuts and a beautiful cocoa ribbon swirl, perfect for a quick indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (397 g)
- 340 g chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (57 g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (10 g)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (120 g)
Instructions
- Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Heat gently, stirring every 30 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted (5-7 minutes). It should look glossy.
- Stir in Vanilla: Remove the bowl from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract until it is well combined and you can smell its sweet aroma (1 minute).
- Prepare the Pan: Pour about half of the plain fudge mixture into an 8×8 inch pan that has been lined with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Create the Cocoa Ribbon: Into the remaining half of the fudge mixture in the bowl, mix the unsweetened cocoa powder until it is perfectly smooth and a deep, rich brown color.
- Swirl and Top: Drizzle spoonfuls of this cocoa fudge mixture over the plain fudge already in the pan. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two colors together, creating that beautiful ribbon effect.
- Add the Crown: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the top of the fudge, pressing them down lightly into the mixture.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 2-4 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch. This step is crucial for perfect slicing.
- Cut and Serve: Once fully set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire fudge block out of the pan. Cut into neat squares and enjoy this wonderful family-friendly treat!
Notes
For best results, use high-quality chocolate and fresh walnuts. If walnuts sink, the fudge might be too warm; let it cool 5-10 minutes. Ensure using sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, for proper setting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
