Tips & Tricks for Perfect Dulce de Leche Fudge
- Use good dulce de leche. The richer the dulce, the better the fudge. For the greatest flavor, go for Argentinian or homemade variations.
- Add more on top! Before you refrigerate the fudge, sprinkle some additional dulce de leche over it and use a toothpick to mix it in for a beautiful marbled look.
- Let it sit all the way. Put it in the fridge for at least three hours so that the fudge hardens just right.
- Flaky salt makes a difference. A little bit of sea salt brings out the tastes and balances out the sweetness.
- Want more texture? For a delightful crunch, mix in chopped pecans, almonds, or even smashed cookies.
Variations
- No white chocolate? For a mix of caramel, milk, and chocolate, use milk chocolate.
- If you don’t want to use dairy, you can use coconut condensed milk and dairy-free white chocolate.
- Extra caramel kick: Before putting it in the fridge, drizzle melted caramel on top.
- For a crunchy version, add ½ cup of toasted almonds or pecans.
Storage Instructions
You may keep it in the fridge for up to a week in an airtight container.
You can freeze it for up to three months. Before serving, let it thaw in the fridge.
