Ingredients
Fudge Base
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Velvety and rich, these chips create the foundation of our fudge.
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz) This creamy, sugary elixir adds the tender sweetness that makes fudge irresistible.
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter Soft and silky, butter enhances the creaminess while amplifying the flavor.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract The aromatic warmth of vanilla elevates the sweetness.
- pinch salt (optional) Enhances the sweetness, balancing flavors for a refined taste.
Coloring & Decoration
- gel food coloring (blue, purple, black) Vibrant shades that conjure the beauty of a starry night.
- edible glitter or luster dust (silver or iridescent) Sparkling accents that give the fudge a celestial finish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, ensuring that the edges are visible for easy removal later.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir gently, allowing the mixture to melt slowly until smooth.
- Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, if desired.
- Divide the melted fudge into separate bowls. Add gel food coloring to each bowl and mix until vibrant colors are achieved.
- Drop spoonfuls of the colored fudge into the prepared pan, alternating colors to create a marbled effect.
- Gently swirl through the colored layers with a toothpick or knife to mimic a galaxy pattern.
- Sprinkle the top with edible glitter or luster dust.
Chilling
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully firm. Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into small squares.
Notes
For a healthier alternative, consider using dark chocolate or coconut milk. Experiment with natural food colorings for a unique twist.
