Description
Chocolate Cherry Cordial Fudge is a quick, creamy, and indulgent dessert inspired by classic chocolate-covered cherries. Made with just four ingredients, this rich fudge is perfect for holidays, gifting, or satisfying your sweet tooth anytime.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk: adds sweetness and creates the creamy fudge texture
- 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips: melt into the mixture for rich chocolate flavor
- 1/4 cup Nutella: adds extra creaminess and a subtle hazelnut-chocolate richness
- 1 cup maraschino cherries, halved: provide juicy bursts of sweetness and bright color
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 6×9 inch (or similar-sized) baking pan. Line with parchment paper for easy removal if desired.
- In a medium saucepan, gently warm the sweetened condensed milk over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.
- Add the semisweet chocolate chips and Nutella. Continue stirring until the mixture is melted, smooth, and glossy.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Arrange the halved maraschino cherries on top, pressing them gently into the surface of the fudge.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Once set, cut into squares and enjoy.
Notes
- Pat cherries dry with paper towels to avoid excess moisture.
- For a nut-free version, replace Nutella with additional chocolate chips.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can freeze the fudge for up to two months for longer storage.
