While traditional fudge recipes typically require stovetop cooking, you can create a simplified version of chocolate fudge using the air fryer. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for Air Fryer Chocolate Fudge:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Chopped nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt for topping
Instructions:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Line a small baking dish or pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped nuts, sprinkles, or a pinch of sea salt on top.
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
- Place the dish in the air fryer basket and air fry for about 10-15 minutes. Check after 10 minutes to ensure the fudge is setting but not getting too firm.
- Once the fudge is set but still slightly soft, remove it from the air fryer and let it cool completely.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the fudge for a few hours or overnight to firm up.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang, and cut it into squares.
- Store the air fryer chocolate fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Enjoy your delicious homemade air fryer chocolate fudge!
