Ingredients
Scale
Vanilla Fudge Layer
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Fudge Layer
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra overhang on the sides to facilitate easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Make the vanilla fudge layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well between intervals until the mixture is completely smooth and blended.
- Add vanilla to vanilla fudge: Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted white chocolate mixture thoroughly to infuse the creamy flavor.
- Pour and chill vanilla layer: Pour the vanilla fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan and spread it out to form a smooth layer. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly.
- Make the chocolate fudge layer: While the vanilla layer is chilling, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring after each until smooth and fully melted.
- Add vanilla to chocolate fudge: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the chocolate fudge mixture to enhance its rich flavor.
- Pour chocolate layer: Pour the prepared chocolate fudge over the chilled vanilla fudge layer and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Set the fudge: Refrigerate the layered fudge for at least 2 hours or until it is fully firm and set.
- Serve: Once firm, lift the entire block out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 16 equal squares and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- The fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For easier cutting, let the fudge sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, stir the fudge thoroughly during microwaving to avoid lumps.
- Use good quality chocolate chips for best flavor results.
- This recipe is a no-bake dessert, ideal for quick preparation without an oven.
