Dulce de Leche Swirled Fudge Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dulce de leche (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch (or 9×9-inch) square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Spread the Fudge:
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Swirl in Dulce de Leche:
- Warm the dulce de leche slightly (you can microwave it for about 10-15 seconds to soften it). Drop spoonfuls of dulce de leche on top of the chocolate fudge layer. Use a toothpick or a knife to swirl the dulce de leche into the fudge, creating a marbled effect.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours or until it is firm.
- Cut and Serve:
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and serve. If desired, sprinkle with chopped nuts before serving for added texture.
Tips:
- Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It can also be frozen for longer storage; just be sure to wrap it well.
- Flavor Variations: You can add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty flavor or use dark chocolate chips for a richer taste.
- Serving Ideas: This fudge makes a great addition to dessert platters or as a sweet gift for friends and family.
Enjoy!
This Dulce de Leche Swirled Fudge is a deliciously indulgent treat that’s sure to impress with its creamy texture and rich flavor. Perfect for any occasion!
