Ingredients
Scale
Vanilla Fudge Layer
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Fudge Layer
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the baking pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra overhang on the sides to easily lift the fudge out once set.
- Make the vanilla fudge layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each session until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add vanilla flavor: Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract thoroughly into the melted white chocolate mixture.
- Set the vanilla layer: Pour the vanilla fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow it to firm up.
- Make the chocolate fudge layer: While the vanilla layer is chilling, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk in another microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
- Add vanilla flavor to chocolate layer: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor.
- Layer the fudge: Pour the chocolate fudge mixture over the chilled vanilla layer and spread evenly to cover.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled fudge for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm and set.
- Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
- Be careful not to overheat chocolate in the microwave to avoid burning.
- For easy removal, ensure enough parchment paper overhang is left to lift the fudge slab out of the pan.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer bite.
- Can be customized by adding a sprinkle of sea salt on the chocolate layer before chilling if desired.
