Mix these two ingredients together in a microwave-safe bowl. Start by grabbing a can of sweetened condensed milk and your favorite chocolate chips-milk, dark, or even white chocolate works like a charm. This helps the fudge to separate when completely cooled and settled.Two-ingredient microwave fudge is like a shortcut to chocolatey bliss! It’s incredibly easy to make. Before completely set you might want to mark the grid of pieces using a sharp knife but not cutting all the way through.Set aside to cool and set for 2 – 3 hours. Remove and carefully pour the mixture into the prepared tray.Return again and cook on High for a final 2 minutes.The fudge mixture should begin to caramelise and change to a darker colour. If it rises too high in the bowl, stop the microwave, let it settle and then finish the time allowed. Please watch it at steps 4 and 5 as this is when it could boil over. Return to the microwave and cook on High for 5 minutes, remove, add the vanilla essence/extract and stir.Place the bowl back into the microwave and cook on High for 3 minutes. Sieve in the icing sugar and stir to combine.Place the butter and condensed milk into a large microwave safe glass or ceramic bowl and microwave for a few seconds to soften the butter.The size tray depends on how thick you like your pieces of fudge to be: larger and thin or smaller and thick…your choice.

You just need a really big bowl, the biggest that will fit in your microwave, and you need to watch it like a hawk.

The good old days before devices were glued to our hands, eyes and ears.Īnyways, enough reminiscing. The things we used to get up to as children to stave off weekend boredom or during school holidays for fun. Just seeing the recipe brought back so many memories…burnt fingers, scalded tongues, unset fudge blobbed between two Marie biscuits (similar to New Zealand’s Wine or Vanilla Wine biscuits) oozing out everywhere. And because I still haven’t splashed out and bought myself a sugar thermometer, I honestly can’t be bothered messing about with perfecting the ‘soft ball / hard ball stage’ in a glass of cold water.īut recently I pulled out a very old moth-eaten material covered folder with plastic sleeves that holds specially made recipe cards filled in by myself and two sisters while we were still kids at home and inside, I discovered a recipe titled Microwave Fudge which must be from my primary school cooking club going by my hand writing. I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with fudge because when you get it right, it’s fantastic, but when you get it wrong, it still tastes good, but soft or runny fudge just doesn’t have the same appeal. ![]()
