Lazy Fudge Dessert Recipe
Effortless Fudge Squares
Ingredients:
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of chopped nuts (optional)
1 package (10-12 ounces) of your favorite cookies (such as graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or chocolate wafers)
Instructions:
Prep Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there’s an overhang on the sides to facilitate easy fudge removal later.
Cookie Prep: Crush your selected cookies into small pieces. This can be done by sealing them in a plastic bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin, or by pulsing them in a food processor for a faster solution.
Chocolate Meltdown: In a medium saucepan set over low heat, melt together the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
Flavoring: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly.
Nutty Addition: If using nuts, now’s the time to fold them into the mixture.
Cookie Fusion: Incorporate the crushed cookies into the chocolate mix, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Pan It: Transfer the fudgy concoction to your prepared pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure an even layer.
Chill Time: Refrigerate the pan for at least 2-3 hours, or until the fudge has completely set and is firm to the touch.
Slice for Serving: Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper ‘handles’ to lift it out of the pan onto a cutting board. Cut the block into squares of your desired size.
Enjoy: Serve up your Effortless Fudge Squares and savor the rich, decadent treat you’ve created with minimal fuss.
This no-fuss dessert is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or sharing with friends and family on any occasion.
