Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup light or dark brown sugar (firmly packed)
  • ¾ teaspoons table salt

Chocolate & Butter

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips (Ghirardelli brand recommended)
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into 6 pieces)
  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips (divided: ½ cup and ¼ cup; blend of mini and regular-sized)

Other Ingredients

  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8” (20x20cm) square pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If using foil, lightly butter the surface to prevent sticking. Set aside. Measure out your semisweet chocolate chips, dividing them into ½ cup and ¼ cup portions.
  2. Heat-Treat Flour: Place the all-purpose flour in a microwave-safe dish and heat in 10-second increments until the flour temperature is above 160°F (71°C) to kill any bacteria. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Melt Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and salt. Stir frequently until the butter and white chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add Flour: Reduce the heat to low, sift the heat-treated flour into the saucepan, and stir continuously until fully combined into the fudge mixture.
  5. Flavor Base: Remove the pan from heat, add vanilla extract, and stir well to incorporate the flavor evenly.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Quickly add ½ cup of semisweet chocolate chips and fold them into the mixture just until combined to avoid making the fudge overly chocolatey. Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula as needed. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup semisweet chips evenly over the surface.
  7. Set and Serve: Allow the fudge to set completely at room temperature, which typically takes 2-4 hours. Once firm, slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Heat-treating the flour is essential to ensure safety since this recipe uses raw flour.
  • Do not overmix once semisweet chocolate chips are added to retain the ideal cookie dough flavor.
  • Use parchment paper or buttered foil to prevent the fudge from sticking to the pan for easier removal.
  • Allow adequate setting time at room temperature; refrigeration may alter the texture.
