Note: The images shown here are double the recipe.
- Ingredients
+ 1 can (400g) sweetened condensed milk
+ ~140-160g plain butter biscuits, broken into pieces
(e.g. Leibniz biscuits in Germany or Marie biscuits in
some other countries)
+ 6 Tbsp cocoa powder
+ 40g butter (~3 Tbsp)
- Instructions
+ Combine condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder in a pot.
Make sure that the pot is relatively large because the
biscuits will be added in the end.

+ Simmer/boil mixture on medium heat for ~6 minutes. Note that
it burns extremely quickly, so you have to constantly stir!

+ Remove the pot from heat when the mixture becomes somewhat
stringy.

+ Add the broken biscuits.

+ Mix until all biscuits are covered in chocolate mixture.

+ Put mixture into buttered form and leave to cool.
Note: I often just spread it onto parchment paper and
smooth the top and sides a bit.

+ Cut into pieces and store in fridge.
Note: Ideally, it should be cooled in the fridge before cutting
so the cuts are cleaner, but I usually don't have enough space
in the fridge for that.
+ Notes:
* Some brands of biscuits are so soft that they soak
through really quickly when combined with the chocolate
mixture. The Leibniz biscuits in Germany are decent,
but I prefer biscuits that are a bit harder so the
final result isn't as mushy.
* You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on
various factors. If it isn't cooked long enough, the
resulting fudge will be too soft.
