Banana Fudge Recipe
Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 15 mins | Chill Time: 2+ hours
Yield: ~36 pieces
Ingredients:
-
3 ripe bananas, mashed (~1 cup)
-
2 cups granulated sugar
-
½ cup unsalted butter
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
-
1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans – optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease lightly.
-
Cook Mixture: In a saucepan, combine mashed bananas, sugar, butter, and condensed milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves (~5 mins).
-
Boil Gently: Bring to a gentle boil (avoid scorching). Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8–10 mins, stirring frequently, until thickened (should coat the back of a spoon).
-
Finish: Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, white chocolate chips, and nuts (if using) until smooth.
-
Set & Chill: Pour into the prepared pan. Cool at room temp for 30 mins, then refrigerate 2+ hours until firm.
-
Cut & Serve: Slice into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Tips:
-
For a smoother texture, blend the bananas first.
-
For richer flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or salt.
-
If too soft, cook longer (up to 15 mins) to reach the soft-ball stage (~235°F on a candy thermometer).
Enjoy your creamy, fruity fudge! �🍌
