Instructions: How to Make 2-Ingredient Milk Fudge
Method 1: Stovetop
-
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
-
In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
-
Stir constantly over low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth (about 5–7 minutes).
-
Remove from heat. If using, stir in vanilla extract, cardamom, or nuts now.
-
Pour mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until set and firm.
-
Lift fudge out using parchment paper, slice into bite-sized squares, and enjoy!
Method 2: Microwave (Quick & Easy)
-
Add sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl.
-
Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until chocolate is fully melted (usually 2–3 minutes total).
-
Once smooth, pour into a parchment-lined pan.
-
Chill for 2–3 hours until firm, then slice and serve.
