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 allow for easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Make vanilla fudge layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring thoroughly after each heating interval until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
- Add vanilla extract: Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to infuse the fudge with classic vanilla flavor.
- Set vanilla layer: Pour the prepared vanilla fudge mixture evenly into the lined pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly before adding the next layer.
- Make chocolate fudge layer: While the vanilla layer chills, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the mixture melts completely and becomes smooth.
- Add chocolate vanilla extract: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for a subtle boost of flavor and aroma in the chocolate layer.
- Assemble fudge layers: Pour the smooth chocolate fudge over the chilled vanilla fudge layer and use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring full coverage.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the entire pan for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm and set.
- Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 16 even squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Microwave heating intervals are essential to prevent burning the chocolate; stir thoroughly each time.
- Use parchment paper lining for easy removal and neat edges on your fudge.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a firmer texture, chill overnight before slicing.
