Ingredients

• sweetened condensed milk
• semi-sweet white chocolate chips

Items Needed

• 8×8 baking pan
• parchment paper

Step by step

1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. Place the chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl. Microwave on high for one minute.
3. After microwaving, add the sweetened condensed milk to the chocolate chips and microwave again for another minute, or until the chocolate chips are completely smooth when stirred. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly, tapping the pan on the counter to flatten and release any air bubbles. Place the pan in the fridge for 4 hours, or until the fudge is set.
5. To serve, slice the fudge into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife.

Serving suggestions

Try serving your fudge with a side of fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for a contrasting taste. For the ultimate indulgence, enjoy it alongside a steaming mug of hot coffee, frozen coffee, hot chocolate, or a refreshing strawberry iced tea.

Variations

• mix in chopped almonds, walnuts, or pecans for a crunchy texture.
• fold in dried cranberries or cherries for a tart contrast.
• stir in a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom for a warming spice note.
• sprinkle crushed candy canes on top before chilling for a holiday treat.

Storage

Store your fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and texture. It can last up to two weeks when stored properly.

For longer storage, you can freeze the fudge for up to three months. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag.
