Microwave Dark Chocolate Fudge is a rich, velvety treat made with minimal effort and maximum indulgence.

It boasts an intense cocoa flavor, balanced by a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

 

 

The microwave method streamlines the process, allowing the chocolate to melt quickly, blending seamlessly with creamy and sweet ingredients to form a dense chocolate treat.

Before starting to cook you can line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with tinfoil or I prefer, with plain fudge, to pour it into silicone mini muffin pans so I don't have to cut it when set.

 

 

Then I measured out the correct amount of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

 

 

Next I measured out the correct amount of sweetened condensed milk.

 

 

I poured the chocolate chips and milk into a microwave safe measuring cup.

 

 

Then I placed the large Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave. I melted the contents on high for 1 ½ minutes.

 

 

After 1 ½ minutes I removed the mixture and gave a good stir before returning it to the microwave for another minute or until the chocolate chips were melted.

 

 

Once the chocolate was melted I stirred in some vanilla extract.

 

 

Then I stirred in a bit of salt.

 

If you are using a tinfoil lined square baking pan, you would now scrape the fudge into the pan.  I spooned the hot fudge into my silicone mini muffin pans.

I put the pans in the fridge to set for a couple of hours.

 

Once the fudge was hard I popped the pieces out.  You can use the tinfoil in the square pan to life the fudge out of the pan and use a sharp knife to cut it into squares.

This Microwave Dark Chocolate Fudge is a decadent treat and it is difficult to stop at one piece!

 

The deep, bittersweet notes of dark chocolate make it a sophisticated dessert, ideal for satisfying a chocolate craving or sharing as a homemade gift.

FAQS:

How do I store microwave dark chocolate fudge?

To store microwave dark chocolate fudge properly and keep it fresh:

Short-Term Storage (1–2 Weeks)

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container at room temperature (around 65–70°F). Place parchment or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
• Refrigerator: If your kitchen is warm, refrigerate it in an airtight container. Let it sit at room temp for a few minutes before serving to soften.

Long-Term Storage (Up to 3 Months)

• Freezing: Wrap the fudge tightly in plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

This keeps the fudge from drying out and helps maintain its rich, smooth texture!
