Description

A rich and creamy homemade hot fudge topping made easily with just sweetened condensed milk and semisweet chocolate chips. Perfect for drizzling over ice cream, brownies, or desserts, this thick and smooth fudge comes together quickly using either a microwave or stovetop method.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 1/2 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips


Instructions

  1. Microwave Method: In a microwave-safe bowl, pour the chocolate chips, then pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top of the chocolate chips. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir briskly until the chocolate chips are fully melted and combined into a smooth mixture. If lumps remain, microwave for an additional 1 minute and stir again until completely smooth.
  2. Stovetop Method: Combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk continuously until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture is evenly combined and smooth. This process takes about 3 to 5 minutes.

Notes

  • For best results, use good-quality semisweet chocolate chips.
  • Stir thoroughly to ensure a smooth, lump-free texture.
  • Use the fudge warm for a pourable consistency, or let it cool slightly to thicken.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat before serving.
