Dark Chocolate Raspberry Fudge Recipe
There are only a few occasions each year where I break out a new fudge recipe and Valentine’s Day is one of them. I’ve got an extra special, extra decadent extra easy fudge recipe for you guys today and I just know you’re going to love it!
This is easy fudge you guys – the kind that you make with chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. It’s fool proof and takes a whopping 5 minutes to pull together.
I played around with raspberry extract and liqueur trying to get the best raspberry flavor and ended up finding it by using seedless raspberry jam. (Buy the seedless – you don’t want a bunch of raspberry seeds in your teeth after eating a piece – trust me! After the huge success of the jam, I’ve been brainstorming up more fudge recipes to make like this. It’s a great way to add a punch of flavor for sure! I think cherry preserves would be absolutely amazing here.
I added white chocolate chips to give this fudge some wow power but also played around with marshmallows (think Rocky Road Fudge) and that was also amazing. Do whatever feels right to you.
Tips for Making Easy Fudge
- You need one full can of sweetened condensed milk – use a spatula to really scrape it clean.
- Use only microwave safe bowls. The mixture doesn’t get boiling hot but it does get hot. I use this set here.
- If you don’t have parchment paper on hand, foil will do in a pinch. I just prefer parchment.
- I used bittersweet chocolate for this recipe. With the addition of the sweetened condensed milk and raspberry jam, I knew it would be plenty sweet. You could maybe get away with semi-sweet if that’s all you have on hand.
- For the drizzle I used raspberry extract but considering the lovely raspberry flavor in the fudge itself, you could omit if you can’t find it. I used magenta food coloring from this set.
- Swap out the white chocolate chips for marshmallows if you’d like.
The fudge has the most amazing consistency – creamy, rich, the kind that leaves teeth marks when you take a bite. Basically, my favorite thing ever. This fudge recipe quickly got added to my Fantastic Fudge Recipes collection but make sure to check out all my fudge recipes here.
How To Make Fudge
5 Minute Dark Chocolate Raspberry Fudge
Ingredients
- 20 oz dark chocolate chips (60% Cacoa)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 12 oz white chocolate chips (divided)
- 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil or shortening
- 1/2 tsp raspberry extract or liqueur
- pink food coloring
Instructions
- Spray a 8 or 9-inch square pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper.
- In a large microwave safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk
- Heat on high heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until nice and smooth.
- Stir in raspberry jam, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
- Remove 1/3 cup white chocolate chips form the pacakge and set aside.
- Add remaining white chocolate chips to the mixture and stir. The dark chocolate mixture will be still be warm at this point so the chips will melt partially and create a marbling effect - depending on how hot it is.
- Spoon the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and refrigerate until firm.
Pink Raspberry Drizzle (optional)
- Combine the reserved 1/3 cup white chocolate chips and either the coconut oil or the shortening in a small microwave safe bowl.
- Heat on high heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until nice and smooth.
- Stir in extract or liqueur and food coloring until desired color is achieved. Drizzle over the top of the fudge.
- Chill for 15 minutes or until set.

Hi Trish,
I love your recipes and have used several. But health wise I’m forced to eat more Mediterranean style foods. I’m struggling to find a website with healthy AND good tasting meals for my family. Do you have any recipes that are high protein and low carb?
