Microwave Fudge Without Condensed Milk – absolutely delicious, made with 5 ingredients, and no fancy equipment required!!!
This fudge is unbelievably easy!
It’s perfect if you get a craving for fudge and don’t have the time to wait. Or you don’t have a candy thermometer. Or if the stove version of making fudge is little bit overwhelming!
Here are the ingredients:
- Nutella
- Butter
- Vanilla
- Salt
- Powdered Sugar
- Chopped Walnuts – you can leave out the nuts if you prefer!
How do you make microwave fudge without sweetened condensed milk?
The nutella acts as the binder to replace the sweetened condensed milk!
You don’t need a candy thermometer or a stove. All you need is a microwave and a bowl.
Melt the butter and Nutella together in the microwave. When it comes out, stir in the salt, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Turn it out into a dish lined with foil, refrigerate it and BAM you’re done!
Other things you could add to the fudge…
Stir in some peanut butter to the top! Or salted caramel!
Add some white chocolate chips at the end.
Top with flaky sea salt for a salt-sweet combo!

Microwave Fudge Without Condensed Milk
Ingredients
- 1 cup Nutella
- 16 Tablespoons (2 sticks) butter, salted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups confectioners’ sugar sifted
- 3/4 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil. Make sure there is extra foil sticking out on the sides to lift the finished fudge out.
- Melt the Nutella and butter together in a large bowl. Stop the microwave and stir the mixture every minute until completely melted and smooth. Remove from the microwave and stir in the vanilla and salt using a large rubber spatula.
- Add the sifted confectioners’ sugar and stir until completely combined. Make sure you sift the powdered sugar or the fudge will not end up as firm as it should be. The mixture is very, very thick and resembles cookie dough. If using walnuts, fold them in at this point.
- Press the fudge into prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spatula. The top will be somewhat oily. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the bottom of the dish is no long warm and the fudge is firm to touch. Cut into small pieces.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Oh my stinkin goodness…this looks so yummy. I could easily eat a whole jar of nutella in one sitting. It is just SO GOOD! and your fudge recipe looks delicious. Definitely will be giving it a try! So glad I stumbled across y’alls blog!
Haha! I am so with you about Nutella… One minute I have a whole jar and the next I have eaten nearly the entire jar! We’re so glad you’ve found us 🙂
My mom made the fudge and it is so good! I love Nutella
Hello, how much is 1 stick of butter? In Germany its most times 250g, is it the same size?
Greetings from Berlin!:-)
Caro
Hi Caro! One stick of butter = 113.4 grams. This recipe calls for 2 sticks (or 226.8 grams), so it would be just under a stick of butter in Germany. Hope that helps! And hope you like the fudge 🙂
Nutella + Fudge = amazing! I can only imagine…!!
This sounds fantastic! My husband’s crazy for Nutella (and I’m a fan too!) and he’d love this. Yummy. Instantly pinned.
Yay! Thanks, Jelli 🙂
I just came back from vacation with the idea of creating a fudge from nutella and decided to see if I was repeating someone’s work. Ta-dah! Definitely will try this soon!
Yay! Can’t wait for you to try it!
I just made this yesterday! Ridiculously easy. As I suspected, my coworkers were impressed thinking I slaved over it. Many compliments! I don’t even want to share the recipe with them bc they will see how easy it is.
Yay! So happy to hear!! 🙂
Just made this. It’s delicious and simple to make! I didn’t wait the full four hours because I was too excited to try it.
Yay! Thanks for leaving some love. 🙂
I Just made this it tastees SOOO good!!! Thank u for uploading this <3
Yay! So happy you liked it!
Oh looks so yummy! I’m going to make these and show them off ???? it’s going to be though to make these while fasting and not being able to take a spoon full of it before it goes to the fridge hahaah.. Lots of love from Oman!
I agree that will be really hard to do 🙂
Hello! Fantastic recipe. Do you think it would taste alright if I added pretzels instead of walnuts? I love salty/sweet!
Yes! It should be just fine! 🙂
Would this turn out the same if you replaced the confectioners sugar with normail white sugar?
No! Confectioners sugar is much lighter and more dense.
I just finished making 2 batches of this fudge to take to a party and I’m not sure if any of it will ever get there. It was SO easy to make and it tastes heavenly!
Awesome! So happy you liked it!!
Looks so yummy. Going to make this today. One question, do you use salted or unsalted butter? I love nutella. Thank you
