Ingredients

  • 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa and salt in a medium saucepan.
  • Heat over medium heat while stirring constantly until combined, then pour in the milk.
  • Continue stirring until smooth, and cook until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Serve warm or let cool, then store in a mason jar in the fridge for up to a month.

Notes

You can make this a thicker sauce by adding less milk. If you want your fudge sauce to be thicker, start with ¼ cup of milk and see if that consistency is pleasing to you.
