Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas (mashed)
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
1/2 cup crushed nuts (optional, such as walnuts or almonds)
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Pan: Start by lining an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly greasing it. This will make it easier to remove the fudge once it’s set.
Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips. You can do this in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, or use a double boiler on the stove. Stir until the chocolate is completely smooth.
Combine the Banana and Condensed Milk: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Then, add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Mix Chocolate and Banana Mixture: Pour the melted chocolate into the banana mixture. Stir gently to combine until the fudge mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add Optional Ingredients: If you like some crunch, fold in the crushed nuts or shredded coconut. These add a fun texture and extra flavor to your fudge!
Set the Fudge: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
Serve and Enjoy: Once the fudge has set, remove it from the fridge and cut it into small squares. Enjoy immediately or store it for later!
