Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g high-quality dark chocolate
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 100g unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup golden caramel sauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Sea salt flakes, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Prepare Your Equipment and Ingredients: Line a square baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and gather all your ingredients measured out and ready by your side.
- Melt Chocolate, Butter, and Condensed Milk: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, gently melt dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and condensed milk, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and glossy. This creates the rich fudge base.
- Add Caramel and Vanilla: Remove the bowl from heat and stir in the golden caramel sauce and vanilla extract thoroughly, ensuring every bite will be infused with caramel goodness balanced by warm vanilla notes.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into your lined pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top while the fudge is still warm to create the perfect salty crunch. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm.
- Cut and Shape: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment and cut into bite-sized squares or roll into balls for classic truffles. Optionally, dust with cocoa powder or extra sea salt for an elegant finish.
Notes
- Use good quality chocolate: The chocolate quality greatly influences flavor and texture.
- Don’t overheat: Melt ingredients gently to avoid burning or seizing.
- Precision in chilling: Proper refrigeration ensures easy cutting and firm texture.
- Fresh caramel is key: Use fresh, smooth caramel sauce for the best taste contrast.
- Customize your salt: Try fleur de sel or Maldon flakes to enhance texture and flavor.
