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 Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra overhang on the sides. This allows for easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Make Vanilla Fudge Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk. Heat the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add Vanilla Extract to Vanilla Layer: Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted white chocolate mixture, ensuring it is fully incorporated for that classic vanilla flavor.
- Pour and Chill Vanilla Layer: Pour the smooth vanilla fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it out flat. Refrigerate the pan for 20 minutes to allow this layer to firm up slightly before adding the next layer.
- Make Chocolate Fudge Layer: While the vanilla layer chills, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk in another microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted.
- Add Vanilla Extract to Chocolate Layer: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted chocolate fudge mixture for enhanced flavor.
- Layer Chocolate Fudge: Pour the chocolate fudge evenly over the chilled vanilla layer. Spread the top smoothly with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Final Chill: Refrigerate the layered fudge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and firm enough to cut.
- Serve: Once set, gently lift the fudge out of the pan by using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 equal squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Be careful when microwaving chocolate to avoid overheating and seizing; heat in short intervals and stir frequently.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a firmer fudge, extend refrigeration time beyond 2 hours.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow fudge to sit at room temperature a few minutes before serving for softer bites.
