Holiday Cookie Countdown: Nutella Fudge with Sea Salt

nutella fudge_small

This recipe couldn’t be simpler, but I love that it’s a tasty twist on the same old fudge you see on every cookie tray. This fudge is smooth and creamy, with a rich dark chocolate base coupled with yummy notes of hazelnut from the Nutella. The sea salt is optional but, for me, it’s the best part!

You may think and 8×8 pan is not enough, but you’ll want to cut these babies pretty small. They are riiiich.

Go FUDGE yourself, y’all!

Holiday Cookie Countdown: Nutella Fudge with Sea Salt

Holiday Cookie Countdown: Nutella Fudge with Sea Salt

Ingredients

Butter, for greasing pan

1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 ounces bittersweet (60% cacao) chocolate chips

1 cup Nutella, room temperature

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Flaky sea salt, approximately 3/4 tsp (I use Maldon.)

Instructions

Grease the bottom and sides of an 8- by 8-inch baking pan with butter. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overlap on the sides to use as "handles".

In a medium glass or stainless steel bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, bittersweet chocolate chips, Nutella, and butter.

Form a double-boiler by setting the bowl on a medium pot of gently simmering water. The water level should be low enough that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth, 5 to 7 minutes.

Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan, spread the top smooth with a spatula. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, then sprinkle sea salt on top. (This keeps it from dissolving.) Refrigerate until the fudge is firm, at least 2 hours.

Run a knife under hot water, dry it off, and run it around the edges of the pan to loosen the fudge. Using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the fudge out. Peel off the parchment paper. Cut the fudge into 3/4-inch squares. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or wrapped well in plastic wrap and foil.

Makes approximately 50 3/4-inch squares.
