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