Description
To understand why this dessert is such a game-changer, it helps to break down exactly what you are creating. At its core, this dessert is a premium, no-bake confection that marries the ultra-creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture of traditional chocolate fudge with the playful, chunky mix-ins of a classic rocky road. By blending high-quality chocolate chips with thick, sweetened condensed milk and a touch of butter, you create an incredibly smooth ganache-like base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup roasted peanuts, almonds, or walnuts, roughly chopped
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan or loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl (or over a double boiler), combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Heat gently, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
- Stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt.
- Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes so it doesn’t melt the marshmallows.
- Fold in the marshmallows and chopped nuts until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Freeze for 2–3 hours, or until firm.
- Lift out using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
