Equipment

  • baking tin (to act as a mould)
  • Measuring equipment
  • bowl
  • spoons

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric
  • 1 3/4 cups chocolate dark but not more than 70% cocoa solids
  • 1 1/4 cup condensed milk approximately 1 tin
  • 2 tablespoon butter unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Line your 8 inch by 8 inch (20cm by 20cm) square tin with baking parchment. Let the baking parchment come up the sides a little as this well remove it from the tin later. This is going to be the mould for the fudge.
  • Break the chocolate up into a bowl with the butter. Melt it over a double boiler or in the microwave using 15-second blasts of power.
  • Once the chocolate and butter have melted, add the condensed milk and the vanilla extract. Give everything a good stir to ensure that it is thoroughly combined.
  • Tip into the lined tin. Spread it out, coax it into the corners, the back of a teaspoon can be helpful with this. Flatten the top of the fudge as much as you can but you don't need to be too fussy with it.
  • Pop it into the fridge and allow to cool and set for between 1 -2 hours.
  • Once the fudge has set, remove it from the tin and place it on a cutting board. Slice the fudge up into pieces, choose a size that pleases you. Store in a covered container. In warmer weather, it may be better to keep it in the fridge as it can become quite soft.
