2 Minute Microwave Fudge
This 2 Minute Microwave Fudge is SO EASY! Rich, creamy, and ready in minutes for your chocolate cravings.
Equipment
- Microwave-safe Bowl
- Mixing Spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula
- 9x9-inch baking dish
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- Sea salt optional, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Start by placing the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave for about 30 seconds until it is fully melted. Keep an eye on it to prevent any splattering.
- In the same bowl, add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir the mixture well to combine the dry ingredients evenly.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth and creamy batter. Don’t worry if it seems thick; that’s perfectly normal!
- Gently fold the chopped pecans into the fudge mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Place the bowl back into the microwave and heat for another 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn’t bubble over. You want it hot but not boiling.
- Once heated, carefully pour the fudge mixture into a greased 9x9 inch baking dish or a dish lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes. If you want it to set faster, you can place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Notes
- Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Refrigerate for up to two weeks or freeze up to three months for longer storage.
- Omit pecans for a nut-free version or add different mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit.
- Adjust microwave time if fudge is too soft by heating in 30-second intervals and stirring.
- Customize flavors seasonally with extracts or toppings like mint, pumpkin spice, or crushed candy canes.
