Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Directions

  1. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until fully combined.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval. Continue until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  4. Pour half of the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Spoon the coconut mixture on top of the chocolate layer and spread it out evenly.
  6. Pour the remaining melted chocolate mixture over the coconut layer, covering it completely.
  7. Using a knife or a toothpick, swirl the chocolate and coconut layers together to create a marbled effect.
  8. Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm.
  9. Once chilled, remove the fudge from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut the fudge into small squares.
  10. Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
