3 Ingredient Chocolate Fudge
Easy 3 Ingredient Chocolate Fudge recipe. This quick and simple dessert idea makes a great nut and gluten free last minute treat.
The holiday season is approaching, and so of course I am looking for an easy recipe to make for a quick treat. It always seems like around the Christmas season, I am craving pieces of fudge to snack on throughout the day.
The best part about making a lot of fudge at this time of year is that you can easily give them as gifts to neighbors, colleagues, acquaintances,.. really anyone who you want to share the holiday cheer with. This year, I really wanted an easy chocolate fudge recipe. Because who doesn't like chocolate fudge? I think that this 3 Ingredient Chocolate Fudge will be my new go-to holiday dessert.
3 Ingredient Chocolate Fudge Ingredients
You probably already have all of the simple ingredients to make this 3-ingredient fudge recipe. All you need to make this simple treat is:
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
- sweetened condensed milk
- vanilla extract
That's it!
Tips & Tricks
Make this fudge vegan! Use vegan chocolate chips instead of regular chocolate chips. I like the enjoy life brand because I find that it produces a smoother melted chocolate, but you can use whatever you have on hand. You can also buy some vegan sweetened condensed milk. This dairy-free fudge alternative makes it a lot safer to give as gifts in case you don't know what food allergies or taste preferences your recipients have.
Change up the chocolate. I love replacing the chocolate chips with dark chocolate. If you can get high-quality chocolate it works a lot better. It gives it a more sophisticated taste, and is perfect for special occasions. White chocolate also works well if you want more of a sweet treat.
Line your baking pan for easy removal. Make sure you line the edges and the bottom of the pan with either parchment paper or aluminium foil. You can spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray, but I have always found that that method doesn't work nearly as well as if you had a lined pan.
