Ingredients You Need

microwave Coconut Fudge Recipe

1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups milk chocolate chips
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or coconut extract
¾ cup sweetened coconut flakes, reserve 2 tablespoons for top of fudge
¾ cup toasted coconut flakes, reserve 2 tablespoons for top of fudge

Instructions How to Make Our Easy Coconut Fudge

Line an 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Combine the milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and sweetened condensed milk together in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave in 3 – 30 second increments, stirring the chocolate each time. Stir to combine and heat another 15-30 seconds if needed.
Add the vanilla extract and stir the melted chocolate until smooth. Mix in the toasted and sweetened coconut flakes into the chocolate mixture. Pour into your prepared pan. Spread fudge evenly with a spatula. Top with remaining toasted and sweetened coconut flakes.
Chill in the fridge until ready to serve. When ready to slice the fudge, let the fudge sit for about 5-10 minutes before cutting, as the fudge will be hard to cut through. Use a sharp knife cut into squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

If You Don’t Have Toasted Coconut, Here’s How to Make it

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the coconut out on the baking pan so it browns evenly.
Bake for anywhere from 5 -7 minutes, stirring half-way through until the coconut is toasted and lightly browned.
Let the coconut cool completely before adding to the fudge.

Storing Our Coconut Fudge

This fudge needs to be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. If you want to store it longer, you could freeze it for up to a month.

More Variations

If you just want to use the sweetened coconut flakes for the entire recipe, then use 1 1/2 cups plus the topping, and visa versa if you want to use just toasted coconut for the fudge recipe.
Want a white chocolate variation? Just substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips.
Add your favorite nuts like almonds, walnuts, pecans or pistachios for a nutty texture.
For the holidays, add candies like m&m’s, Reese’s peanut butter cups, mini candy eggs, or toffee bits.

In conclusion, with just a few ingredients, you can create this creamy and decadent microwave coconut fudge that will have everyone asking for seconds. And the best part? It’s super easy to make!

So go ahead and whip up a batch of this mouth-watering coconut fudge and see the smiles of joy! Share on Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook!
