Ingredients

Ingredients for Sea salt chocolate fudge collage

Semi-sweet chocolate chips: The star ingredient of this fudge recipe, semi-sweet chocolate chips lend a rich and smooth chocolate flavor. If desired, you can experiment with other types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate, to customize the taste according to your preference.

Sweetened condensed milk: Sweetened condensed milk provides the fudge with its creamy and luscious texture. It also adds a subtle sweetness to balance the intense chocolate flavor.

Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile of the fudge. While vanilla extract is commonly used, you can also experiment with other extracts like almond or peppermint to add a unique twist to your fudge.

Sea salt: The addition of sea salt creates a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the fudge, elevating the flavors and adding a touch of sophistication. If you don't have sea salt on hand, you can use kosher salt or even fleur de sel as a substitute.

Butter: contributes to the richness and smoothness of the fudge, providing a velvety texture. You can use unsalted butter if you prefer to have more control over the saltiness, or if salted butter is your preference, adjust the amount of additional salt added accordingly.

Extra coarse salt to sprinkle on top of the fudge: The coarse salt is not only a decorative element but also adds a delightful burst of flavor and texture. If you don't have coarse salt, you can use crushed sea salt flakes or even Himalayan pink salt as an alternative. Experiment with different types of salt to discover your favorite flavor combination.

Recipe FAQs

Can I use sweetened condensed coconut milk instead of the regular one?

Sweetened condensed coconut milk is a suitable alternative for those who prefer a non-dairy or vegan option. It can be used as a substitute for sweetened condensed milk in various recipes, including fudge. It also retains the same thick and creamy consistency as traditional condensed milk, while adding a hint of coconut flavor. It's a great option to accommodate dietary preferences or restrictions.

Can I use different types of chocolate in this fudge recipe?

Yes, you can experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate, based on your preference. It may alter the flavor and sweetness of the fudge, so adjust accordingly.

Can I omit the sea salt topping?

Absolutely! The sea salt topping adds a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the fudge, but if you prefer a purely sweet flavor profile, you can skip the salt sprinkle without compromising the overall taste of the fudge.
