Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Hot Fudge

recip



1. Layer in Slow Cooker

  • Place chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in the slow cooker.
  • Do not stir.

2. Cook Low & Slow

  • Cover and cook on LOW for 2–3 hours, until butter is melted and edges are bubbly.
  • Do not lift the lid early—steam helps melt everything evenly.

3. Finish & Cool

  • Remove lid; stir in vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  • Let cool 15–20 minutes before serving (it thickens as it cools).
  • For warm fudge: Serve immediately over ice cream.
  • For thicker fudge: Cool completely—it will firm up like soft fudge.

Serving Suggestions

  • 🍦 Classic: Over vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry ice cream
  • 🥧 Dessert upgrade: Drizzled over brownies, banana bread, or apple slices
  • ☕ Cozy twist: Swirled into hot milk for instant hot chocolate
  • 🎁 Gifting: Pour into jars, cool, and tie with ribbon (keeps 2 weeks at room temp!)

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

  • Room temp: Store in airtight jar up to 2 weeks (stir before using).
  • Fridge: Keeps up to 1 month—gently rewarm in microwave or stovetop.
  • Freeze: Freeze up to 3 months—thaw in fridge and stir.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Gluten-free?
A: Yes! Most chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk are GF (check labels—Eagle Brand and Hershey’s are typically safe).
Q: Can I use dark or milk chocolate?
A: Absolutely! Use all dark for bittersweet depth, or milk chocolate for extra sweetness.
Q: Too thin?
A: It thickens as it cools. If still runny, refrigerate 30 minutes.
Q: Grainy texture?
A: Likely overheated. Stick to LOW heat and avoid stirring during cooking.
