    2 Ingredient Fudge is the perfect way to satisfy a fudge craving when you are short on time.

    Having a fudge-related emergency? No judgement - this is a safe fudge space!

    Never fear, my 2 ingredient fudge recipe is here to save the day! It's quick and simple, and you probably have both the ingredients in your pantry already.

    This 2 ingredient chocolate fudge has all the textures and taste you are looking for with traditional fudge - gorgeously smooth, creamy, chewy and chocolatey, but with less fuss.

    And, did I mention it's made in the microwave, too?

    The other big plus for this fudgy treat is that it's a great base to add your own flavours to (see my Variations section below).

    Top tips

    • Greasing and lining your baking dish/pan will make it easier for you to get your set fudge out of the pan.
    • I recommend lining with baking/parchment paper rather than foil, as the foil tends to tear easily when it comes time to turn it out.

    Stove-top directions

    • Combine the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan and melt together on the stove over low to medium heat.
    • Stir until everything is combined and the chocolate is melted.
    • Then add cooked fudge to a greased and lined tin as per the recipe instructions.

    Variations

    • Add a splash of vanilla.
    • Once everything is melted together, add some chopped nuts like walnuts or peanuts.
    • A drop or two of mint essence will turn this into choc mint fudge.
    • Add some sprinkles on top for a fun look.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk?

    No.

    How to store 2 ingredient fudge?

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    Instructions

    • Grease and line and baking pan/dish - mine is a 20cm square pan (8-inch) and set aside.
    • Place sweetened condensed milk and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
      395 g sweetened condensed milk
      500 g chocolate (snapped into squares)
    • Melt in 30 second bursts, stirring between each burst.
    • Once chocolate is melted, mix to completely combine.
    • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
    • Place in the fridge to set for 2-3 hours.
    • Using a sharp knife, cut into pieces to serve.

    Notes

    • Greasing and lining your baking dish/pan will make it easier to get the set fudge out of the pan. Make sure you leave some overhang on each side to use as handles.
    • I recommend lining with baking paper/parchment paper rather than foil, as the foil tends to tear easily when it comes time to turn the fudge out.
