Delicious Nutella Fudge Recipe
Get your Nutella fix with this incredibly easy Delicious Nutella Fudge recipe—creamy, chocolatey, and deliciously nutty with every bite!
Servings: 25 fudge squares
Calories: 184kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter salted
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1 cup brown sugar
- Caviar from one vanilla bean or one tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup Nutella
- 2 1/2 cup powdered sugar sifted (make sure you sift it!)
Instructions
- Sift your powdered sugar into a large bowl and set aside.
- Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over on two opposing sides to make a sling. This makes removing and cutting the fudge much easier once it has set.
- Melt your butter in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
- Add your brown sugar, vanilla bean caviar (or vanilla extract), and half-and-half, and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
- Move the pan to a cool burner and stir in the Nutella. Spritzing your measuring cup with a little non-stick cooking spray before putting the Nutella in will help prevent it from sticking.
- Once the Nutella is thoroughly mixed in, transfer the contents of the pot into the bowl with the powdered sugar. Mix quickly and thoroughly until everything is combined. It will be quite thick – if it seems thin, add more powdered sugar.
- Dump the entire mixture into your baking dish and place it in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Remove the fudge from the baking dish by grabbing the excess parchment paper and lifting it out.
- Transfer the fudge to a cutting board and cut it up!
Notes
Optional toppings (which I didn’t think of until after I made the batch above) include chopped hazelnuts, pretzel pieces, white chocolate chips, toasted coconut, or crushed candy canes.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. If you'd like to freeze it, wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
Fudge can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow it to thaw at room temperature before serving for the best texture.
