Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup additional chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and the entire can of sweetened condensed milk.
- Microwave the chocolate and condensed milk mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Carefully stir in the vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
- Fold in the shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly to the corners.
- Sprinkle the chopped almonds evenly across the surface of the fudge.
- Melt the additional 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave, using 15-second intervals and stirring between each, until completely smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the fudge, creating a decorative pattern.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely set and firm.
- Using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the fudge out of the pan and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife, cleaning the knife between cuts for neat edges.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or serve immediately at room temperature.
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the richest flavor and smoothest texture.
- Be patient when melting chocolate—use short microwave intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Allow parchment paper to hang over pan edges for easy fudge removal.
- Clean your knife between cuts for perfectly neat squares.
- For extra texture, toast your almonds lightly before adding them to the fudge.
- Ensure your fudge is completely set before cutting to maintain clean edges.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
- For a more intense coconut flavor, use toasted coconut flakes.
