Main Ingredients
- 200g Cadbury Chocolate (chopped)
- 1 can (14 oz / 395g) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- A pinch of Salt
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure the fudge won’t stick. Setting up your pan before starting the fudge helps the process go smoothly.
- Melt Chocolate, Butter, and Condensed Milk: Combine the chopped Cadbury chocolate, butter, and sweetened condensed milk in a heatproof bowl. Melt them together over a double boiler or gently in the microwave with short bursts, stirring often to avoid burning and ensure a silky texture.
- Add Vanilla and Salt: Once the mixture is smooth, remove it from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. These small additions elevate the fudge’s flavor immensely.
- Pour and Smooth: Pour the warm fudge mixture into your prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, pressing down gently to remove air bubbles and create a flat surface.
- Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm. For best results, cover it loosely with plastic wrap to prevent moisture from forming on top.
- Slice and Enjoy: Use a sharp knife warmed with hot water and wiped dry for clean cuts. Cut your fudge into bite-sized squares, and it’s ready to serve or gift!
Notes
- Use Quality Chocolate: Opt for genuine Cadbury chocolate bars to capture authentic flavor and smoothness.
- Be Patient When Melting: Slow and gentle melting avoids scorching and keeps the fudge creamy.
- Line Your Pan: Parchment paper makes lifting out the fudge effortless and cleanup easier.
- Don’t Skip the Chill Time: Allow full setting time in the fridge for ideal texture and easier slicing.
- Customize Early: Fold in any mix-ins or toppings right after removing from heat for even distribution.
