Small Batch Chocolate Fudge
Small batch chocolate fudge made in the microwave in 5 minutes — rich, glossy, and just enough for one. No candy thermometer, no full batch required.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips and butter in a small microwave-safe bowl or ramekin.
- Microwave for 20 seconds. Stir well. If needed, microwave in 5-second intervals until smooth.
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and salt until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
- Spoon into a small ramekin or silicone muffin cup and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for 45–60 minutes, or until firm.
- Enjoy chilled or let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for a softer texture.
Notes
Melt chocolate and butter first, then add condensed milk — not before. Use 20-second microwave intervals; stir between each. Chocolate scorches fast — short bursts only. Add toppings while warm so they stick. Chill 45-60 min in refrigerator — don't freeze to speed it up. For milk chocolate: reduce condensed milk to 2½ tsp. Keeps covered in refrigerator up to 5 days. Freezes up to 2 months.
