Ingredients
 
 

  • 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

Equipment

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Pop it into the fridge and allow to cool and set for between 1 -2 hours.
  6. 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.
