Description
A rich, dense fudge flavored with dark chocolate and warming spices like cinnamon and chili.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt until fully incorporated.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into small squares before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use high-quality chocolate.
- You can substitute dark chocolate chips for semi-sweet if you prefer a less sweet fudge.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
