Instructions
Instructions
- Spray an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving about a 2-inch overlap on two sides to lift the fudge out later.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, sift 1 pound powdered sugar and 2/3 cup cocoa powder. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir to combine.
- Add 1/4 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix with a plastic spatula or wooden spoon until combined; the mixture will be lumpy and some dry bits may remain.
- Place 1/2 cup butter on top of the mixture (it does not need to be melted). Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir vigorously until the butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and thickened.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the fudge to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle sea salt on top if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until set. Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the dish, cut into pieces, and serve.
Notes
Make sure you leave “handles” of the parchment paper to grab onto to make lifting the fudge out the pan easy.
Let your fudge set in the fridge- don’t try to speed up the process in the freezer. Slow and steady wins the race!
You can use different sized pans depending on how thick you’d like the fudge to turn out.
To easily cut the fudge, right a sharp knife under hot running water first, wipe it clean then cut.
