Description
Sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate are melted to create a creamy fudge flavored with maple and crunchy walnuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 ounces (450g) white chocolate chips, about 2 2/3 cups
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons maple extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) walnuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on two sides to use as handles.
- Place the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a large, microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on 70% power for 90 seconds. Let the bowl sit for 1 minute before stirring.
- Stir the mixture well. The residual heat should melt the remaining chocolate. If it’s not completely smooth, microwave in additional 15-second intervals at 70% power, stirring after each, until fully melted and combined.
- Stir the maple extract and salt into the smooth mixture.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
- Use the parchment handles to lift the fudge from the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into small squares.
Notes
- For the cleanest cuts, use a large, sharp knife. Run the blade under hot water and wipe it dry between each slice.
- Toasting the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes can enhance their flavor. Let them cool completely before adding to the fudge.
- Ensure you are using sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk. They are not interchangeable and the fudge will not set properly with evaporated milk.
