Suggestions for Ingredient Substitution

For a gluten-free option, replace plain flour with almond flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Use a 1:1 ratio, but be aware that the texture may be slightly different. White chocolate chips can be substituted with milk chocolate chips or butterscotch chips for a different flavor profile. Use the same amount as called for in the recipe. For a dairy-free version, replace condensed milk with coconut condensed milk. This substitution maintains the sweetness and consistency while accommodating those with lactose intolerance or following a vegan diet. Use the same quantity as regular condensed milk, but note that there may be a subtle coconut flavor in the final product.

• Fat: 120-140 g
• Carbohydrates: 350-370 g

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain flour
• 2 cups white chocolate chips (any preferred brand)
• 14 oz can of condensed milk (sweetened variety)
• 6 tablespoons butter (unsalted, cut into 6 pieces)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark, firmly packed)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (mixed sizes, divided)

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan and Ingredients

Line an 8×8” (20x20cm) square pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

If using aluminum foil, lightly butter the surface to prevent sticking.

Measure out your chocolate chips, dividing them into ½ cup (85g) and ¼ cup (40g) portions.

Set aside.

Step 2: Heat-Treat the Flour

To ensure the flour is safe for consumption, place it in a microwave-safe dish and heat in 10-second increments until it reaches a temperature above 160°F (71°C).

Set the heat-treated flour aside for later use.

Step 3: Melt the Base Ingredients

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine white chocolate chips, condensed milk, butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Turn the stovetop heat to medium-low and stir frequently until the butter and white chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4: Incorporate Flour and Vanilla

Reduce the heat to low and sift the prepared flour into the saucepan.

Stir until the flour is completely combined with the melted mixture.

Remove the saucepan from heat, add vanilla extract, and stir until well incorporated.

Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips and Transfer to Pan

While working quickly, add ½ cup (85g) of the chocolate chips to the mixture and stir until just combined.

Be careful not to overmix to maintain the desired texture of the fudge.

Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the surface if necessary.

Evenly sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup (40g) of chocolate chips over the top.

Step 6: Set and Serve the Fudge

Allow the fudge to set completely at room temperature, which typically takes between 2 to 4 hours.

Once set, slice the fudge into pieces and serve.

Enjoy your delicious cookie dough fudge!
