Description

This rich and decadent German Chocolate Fudge combines smooth, chocolatey fudge with a classic coconut-pecan topping. Inspired by traditional German chocolate cake, this easy-to-make treat is perfect for holidays, gifting, or whenever you need a delicious chocolate fix!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Fudge:

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Coconut-Pecan Topping:

  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan:
    Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

  2. Make the Fudge:
    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

  3. Set the Fudge Layer:
    Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for about 1 hour until firm.

  4. Prepare the Coconut-Pecan Topping:
    In a saucepan, combine evaporated milk, sugar, butter, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).

  5. Add Coconut and Pecans:
    Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

  6. Top the Fudge:
    Spread the coconut-pecan mixture evenly over the chilled fudge layer. Press gently to adhere.

  7. Chill and Serve:
    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!

 



Notes

  • For extra flavor, toast the coconut and pecans before adding to the topping.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

 

  • You can freeze fudge for up to 3 months; just thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
