Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (450g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Line an 8x8 inch (20x20cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
  2. Combine the 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup cubed unsalted butter, and 1 can sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe glass bowl.
  3. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each burst, until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
  4. Stir in the 1 tsp pure vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp fine sea salt until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
  6. Let the pan sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  7. Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until the fudge is firm to the touch.
  8. Lift the parchment paper to remove the block from the pan and slice into 16 equal squares.
