If you are a fudge lover, but don’t like messing with having to get it to the perfect temperature, this is the treat for you. This easy vanilla fudge recipe takes just a couple of minutes to put together and it is super creamy thanks to the addition of sweetened condensed milk.

This microwave vanilla fudge is beyond easy to make. You don’t even have to measure the ingredients, that is how simple this treat is.

If you have a glass bowl and a spatula, you can make it happen.

However, you can also make it in a double boiler on the stove. Or just put a large glass or metal bowl over a saucepan with some water in it and make your own double boiler.

Of course when I think of fudge, I think of Christmas. It would be perfect for the holidays as is or with some red and green sprinkles on top.

But this creamy fudge is really good any time of year. You could add pastel sprinkles for Easter or make it match the theme of any occasion.

Tips and Tricks

Lining your pan with foil or parchment paper is not absolutely necessary, but it allows you to lift out the block of fudge to cut it into cleaner squares. If you want to serve it straight from the fan, feel free to skip this step.

The easiest way to line the pan with foil is to smooth it over the bottom of the pan first. Then turn pan over, and gently fit shaped foil into pan.

For parchment, try to crease the corners to hold it in place.

When fudge is cooled completely, lift out of pan by the foil or parchment. Then just peel off the liner and cut into pieces.

Feel free to add chopped nuts or candy, such as peanut butter cups, to the mixture before spreading in pan. We love making cookies and cream fudge with bits of Oreo inside.

Pour the fudge directly into cookie cutters or cute tins to make an easy gift.

Properly Storing Fudge

Fudge should be stored in an airtight container. It holds well on the counter at room temperature and will last there for at least a week.

For longer storage, put your airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. You can even freeze it for several months of storage.
