If you’ve ever been intimidated by traditional fudge recipes—thermometers, timing, endless stirring—this Easy Dulce de Leche Fudge Recipe is a delicious shortcut. It swaps out the complex cooking process for a beautifully simple blend of just a few ingredients: creamy Onda-Onda dulce de leche, white chocolate, and butter. The result is a rich, silky treat that sets up perfectly in the fridge—no stress, no boiling sugar, just melt, mix, and chill.

This recipe is ideal for:

Quick desserts
Gifting during the holidays
A sweet snack with coffee
Using up extra chocolate in your pantry

We recommend Onda-Onda dulce de leche for best results—it’s blended to reflect the high quality and caramel depth of Uruguayan-style dulce de leche, smooth and spoonable, perfect for recipes like this one.

Ingredients:

Toppings: sprinkles, chopped peanuts, chocolate chips, sea salt, etc.

350 g Onda-Onda dulce de leche

300 g white chocolate (chopped or chips)

1 tablespoon butter

A few drops of vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions for Easy Dulce de Leche Fudge:

1. Melt the white chocolate
Place the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (double boiler method).
If using a microwave, melt it in 20–30 second bursts, stirring in between, until fully smooth. White chocolate can burn quickly, so take care not to overheat it.

2. Stir in dulce de leche and butter
Add the Onda-Onda dulce de leche and the tablespoon of butter to the melted chocolate. Stir until completely smooth and glossy. The mixture should be thick and pourable.

3. Optional: Add vanilla extract
For extra flavor, stir in a few drops of vanilla extract. This adds depth and a gentle floral sweetness that pairs beautifully with the caramel tones of the dulce de leche.

4. Pour and level
Line a small square or loaf tin with parchment paper or foil for easy removal later. Pour the fudge mixture into the tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

5. Decorate with toppings
Now’s the time to get creative. Sprinkle on chopped nuts, chocolate chips, colorful sprinkles, or even flaky sea salt to balance the sweetness.

6. Chill until firm
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better) until the fudge is firm to the touch.

7. Cut and enjoy
Lift the fudge out using the parchment, then slice into squares. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week—or freeze for longer.
