Looking for a quick and delicious dessert? This 2-Ingredient Chocolate Fudge is your answer! With just two simple ingredients, you can make a rich, creamy fudge that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a party, craving a sweet treat, or need a last-minute gift idea, this easy fudge recipe will be a hit!
Ingredients:
3 cups chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Directions:
Microwave Method: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave at 50% power for about 3 minutes, stirring well after each minute, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Stovetop Method: Alternatively, place the chocolate chips and condensed milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until smooth and fully incorporated.
Prepare the Pan: Line a square pan with foil, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal. Grease the foil with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Pour and Smooth: Pour the smooth chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, and use a spatula to smooth the top.
Chill the Fudge: Refrigerate the pan for 2-3 hours until the fudge is completely set.
Serve: Once the fudge is set, use the edges of the foil to lift it out of the pan. Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares and serve.
Serving Tips:
Serve Chilled: For the best texture, serve the fudge straight from the fridge. The fudge will be firm and smooth, perfect for a bite-sized treat.
Pair with Drinks: This rich fudge pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee, hot cocoa, or a glass of milk. It also complements festive beverages during the holidays.
Presentation: For a more polished look, arrange the fudge squares on a decorative platter or tiered stand. You can garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt, cocoa powder, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for added flair.
Perfect for Gifting: Wrap individual fudge pieces in wax paper or place them in small gift boxes for a homemade, thoughtful gift.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will keep the fudge firm and fresh for up to 2 weeks.
Freezing: If you want to keep it for longer, you can freeze the fudge. Place the fudge squares in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. It will stay good for up to 3 months.
Thawing: To thaw frozen fudge, simply let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. It will regain its smooth texture and taste just as fresh as the day you made it!
