Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: 227 g 2 sticks or 1 cup – creates a rich, creamy base.
- Brown Sugar: 400 g 2 cups – adds deep caramel flavor.
- Powdered Sugar: 375 g 3 cups, sifted – ensures a smooth texture.
- Vanilla Extract: 5 ml 1 teaspoon – enhances the overall flavor.
- Evaporated Milk: 150 ml 1 can or 5 oz – adds creaminess and helps set the fudge.
- Chopped Pecans or Walnuts optional: 120 g (1 cup) – adds a delightful crunch.
- Salt: 1.25 g 1/4 teaspoon – balances the sweetness.
- Non-stick Spray: As needed – for greasing the pan.
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

- Add Evaporated Milk: Stir in evaporated milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it cool for about 30 minutes.
- Mix in Flavorings: Add vanilla extract and salt, stirring until combined. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Nuts: If using, gently fold in chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Set the Fudge: Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for 20 to 25 minutes or until fully set.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, slice the fudge into squares and enjoy!
Notes
For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts.
Substitute evaporated milk with heavy cream for a creamier texture.
To add a unique twist, mix in a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
Store the fudge in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to two weeks.
