Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 2/3 cups white chocolate chips (16 ounces)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons maple extract
- Pinch of salt
Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan with lightly greased parchment paper or non-stick foil to prevent sticking.
- Melt the Chocolate and Milk: Place white chocolate chips and the can of sweetened condensed milk into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 70% power for 90 seconds, then stir thoroughly until smooth and fully melted. If needed, microwave further in 15-second intervals. Alternatively, melt on the stovetop using a double boiler or a bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the maple extract and a pinch of salt into the melted mixture to enhance the flavor.
- Mix in Walnuts: Fold in the coarsely chopped walnuts ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for several hours until the fudge is firm and set.
- Serve: Once set, cut the fudge into approximately 25 squares and serve.
Notes
- This fudge can be quickly prepared in the microwave or alternatively melted gently on the stovetop using a double boiler.
- Ensure you use white chocolate chips as specified to get the right texture and sweetness.
- Chilling the fudge for several hours or overnight ensures the best firmness for easy cutting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
