The Best Nutella Fudge Recipe
This fudge really is a marriage made in heaven! I’ll admit, I can be picky when it comes to fudge. I find that, sometimes, it can be a bit overbearingly sweet with a lack of texture. This is how my Nutella fudge was born! Made with crunchy whole pistachios that add crunch to each bite and flaky salt to cut through the sweetness, it’s a dream come true. To my surprise, this fudge was unbelievably simple to make! It genuinely took me 5 minutes to whip it up. You’ll spend more time prepping the baking pan than you do making the actual fudge. It’s a great addition to a dessert table! It’s also a wonderful, long-lasting treat you can make for yourself and enjoy when your sweet tooth is calling.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Sweetened condensed milk – Use a 10 oz can. Evaporated milk will not work in its place. Chocolate chips – I used unsweetened chocolate chips because I found the fudge was plenty sweet as it. You can use any type of chocolate chips you like. Butter – You can use margarine if you prefer. Vanilla – Extract, paste, or fresh vanilla bean. Nutella – Or any type of chocolate hazelnut spread you can find. Pistachios – Salted, unsalted, roasted; up to you! I prefer them whole because I love biting into a whole pistachio, but if you prefer, go ahead and chop them up Salt – Both regular salt for mixing into the fudge and flaky salt for sprinkling on top.
How To Make Nutella Fudge
How To Store Fudge
Your fudge will last up to 2 weeks stored at room temperature. Keep in an airtight container or sealable bag in a cool, dark place. Leaving it out on the counter, possibly exposed to warm sunlight, can cause the fudge to sweat and become mushy. The fudge will also last 3-4 weeks in the refrigerator. Keep it in an airtight container or a sealable bag. When you leave your fudge in the fridge, it will end up with a chewier bite versus a softer bite when left at room temperature. You may prefer either or; it’s up to you!
Can I Freeze Fudge?
Fudge will freeze well! Place the pieces of fudge you’d like to freeze on a foil lined baking sheet, with space between each one. Freeze for 1-2 hours or until almost solid. Wrap the fudge in the foil, then transfer it to an airtight container or sealable freezer bag. Your fudge will last 6 months – 1 year frozen. Let the fudge thaw slowly overnight in the fridge when you’re ready to enjoy it. This will help prevent the fudge from sweating and getting too soft as it thaws.
