Ingredients
- 2 cups full cream milk powder
- 1 can (400 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the tray
Grease a small square or rectangular tray or line it with parchment paper. This will help in easy removal and cutting of the fudge later. Set the tray aside and keep it ready before starting the cooking process. - Mix the ingredients
In a non-stick pan or heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the full cream milk powder and sweetened condensed milk. Use a spatula to combine them thoroughly until a thick mixture forms. There should be no dry lumps of milk powder left. - Cook on low flame
Place the pan on low heat and begin cooking the mixture. Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom or burning. It is essential to maintain low heat as high flame may cause the sugar in the condensed milk to caramelize too quickly. - Stir until thick
Keep stirring the mixture for about 10–12 minutes. As the mixture heats, it will begin to thicken. Eventually, it will start to leave the sides of the pan and form a dough-like consistency. This is a sign that the mixture is ready to be removed from the heat. - Transfer to tray
Quickly transfer the hot mixture to the greased tray. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to smoothen the surface. Flatten the top evenly to get uniform fudge squares. Be careful, as the mixture will be hot. - Cool and set
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour. You can also refrigerate it for 20–30 minutes to speed up the setting process. Once it’s completely set and firm to touch, it’s ready to be cut. - Cut into squares
Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into small squares or rectangles, depending on your preference. Clean the knife after each cut for neat edges. Gently lift each piece from the tray and transfer it to a serving plate. - Store properly
Store the fudge squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4–5 days. If you live in a warm climate, it’s best to refrigerate them. These treats can also be frozen for longer storage and enjoyed whenever you crave something sweet.
