- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp banana extract (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
Optional Toppings

Instructions
- Combine White Chocolate and Condensed Milk: In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently heat 2 cups of white chocolate chips and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, stirring often until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Melted Butter: Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until the fudge base looks glossy and silky, ensuring an even blend.
- Add Mashed Banana and Flavorings: Mix in ½ cup of mashed ripe banana, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon banana extract (optional), and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle your choice of optional toppings such as crushed vanilla wafers, banana chips, or drizzle melted white chocolate over the surface to add extra texture and flavor.
- Chill: Transfer the fudge mixture into a pan lined with parchment paper, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm enough to slice.
- Slice and Serve: Lift the chilled fudge from the pan using parchment edges, cut into squares, and serve chilled or allow to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes for a softer texture.
Notes
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the fudge wrapped tightly for up to 1 month.
- Allow frozen fudge to soften slightly at room temperature before eating for best texture.
