Rich, creamy chocolate fudge with a hint of amaretto and crunchy toasted almonds.
Servings: 36 pieces
Ingredients
- 3 cups chocolate chips (510 g)
- 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk 1 can
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur (30 ml)
- 1/2 cup sliced toasted almonds
Instructions
- Line an 8x8- or 9x9-inch pan with foil and lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
- Place the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Warm gently, stirring frequently, until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth; keep heat low to avoid scorching.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and Amaretto until evenly combined.
- Quickly pour and spread the fudge mixture into the prepared pan using a spatula.
- Immediately sprinkle the sliced toasted almonds evenly over the top and press lightly so they adhere.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature until it is set, then chill in the refrigerator until fully hardened before slicing into 36 pieces.
