Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x9-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later, and lightly greasing the paper with cooking spray or butter.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the 2 cups of white chocolate chips and the can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chocolate mixture is melted, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until fully incorporated.
- Add the 1 cup of chopped macadamia nuts to the mixture. Stir gently to ensure the nuts are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fudge is set and the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on it to prevent overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the fudge from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- After the fudge has cooled completely, use a sharp knife to cut it into 24 squares or desired shapes. Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Tips
- Use low heat when melting chocolate to prevent scorching and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Stir continuously while melting to create a uniform mixture.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting.
- Allow the fudge to cool completely before cutting to get clean, precise squares.
- For an extra touch of elegance, lightly toast the macadamia nuts before adding them to enhance their flavor.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent the fudge from drying out.
- For variations, consider adding a drizzle of dark chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for added complexity.
