Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with coconut cream for dairy-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt Divided into 1/2 teaspoon for mixing and 1/2 teaspoon for topping.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
  3. Add granulated sugar and stir continuously until well combined.
  4. Gradually pour in the heavy cream while constantly stirring. Continue to mix until the mixture starts to boil gently, about 5 minutes.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Stir for another minute to fully integrate.
  6. Remove from heat, add semi-sweet chocolate chips, and stir until melted and the mixture is smooth.
  7. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt on top.
  8. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 2 hours to set.
  9. Once set, remove from the baking dish, peel off the parchment paper, and cut into squares.

Notes

For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts or drizzling melted chocolate on top. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months. To cut neatly, warm a sharp knife under hot water.
