Ingredients:
- 18 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions:
- Line an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides are covered to prevent sticking.
- Place the 510g semi sweet chocolate chips and 397g sweetened condensed milk into a heavy bottomed saucepan.
- Set the burner to low heat and stir constantly with a silicone spatula until the chips are 80% melted and glossy. Note: Residual heat will finish the job without burning the sugar.
- Add the 28g of unsalted butter to the mixture and stir until the butter disappears and the surface is shiny.
- Pull the pan off the stove immediately to prevent the chocolate from becoming grainy or dry.
- Stir in the 5ml vanilla extract and 1.5g fine sea salt until the aroma becomes fragrant and uniform.
- Pour the molten mixture into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula.
- Gently bang the pan on the counter three times until any trapped air bubbles rise to the surface.
- Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours until the center feels firm and cold to the touch.
- Lift the fudge out using the parchment sling and cut into 36 even pieces using a hot, dry knife.
