Condensed Milk Fudge (2 ingredients)

condensedmilkfudgetwoingredientsAlso known as 2-ingredient fudge, this is the easiest candy recipe as it involves only two ingredients, a few minutes in a double-boiler and some time in the fridge until it firms up. You can use any chocolate flavour and it's the perfect canvas for add-ins.

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
14-17 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Spray or butter a square 8" pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper wide as the pan. It will cover the bottom and two sides. Reserve.

Combine 14-17 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 can sweetened condensed milk in a medium glass bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water that doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir with a spatula until the chocolate melts. Stir well to integrate both ingredients fully.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread even, tapping the pan on the counter to flatten.

Place in the refrigerator until set. It's about 2 hours for me, but it might take more or less, depending on your fridge.

Run a smooth-bladed knife around the edges to loosen up the fudge and transfer the whole block to a cutting board. Use the parchment paper to lift the whole piece.

Using a sharp kitchen knife, slice the fudge into 1" pieces.

Makes 16 pieces.


How to Store Fudge Made with Condensed Milk:

  • You can store this lemon fudge in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • You could also store it in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
