❤️ Why You’ll Love This German Chocolate Fudge

Looking for a decadent treat that’s chocolatey, nutty, and irresistibly rich? This German Chocolate Fudge takes everything you love about the classic cake — dark chocolate, coconut, and pecans — and transforms it into creamy, bite-sized fudge perfection.

It’s the perfect make-ahead dessert for holidays, parties, bake sales, or anytime you're craving something sweet and satisfying.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Fudge Base:

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Coconut-Pecan Topping:

  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Fudge Base

  • Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter, stirring constantly until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  • Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly. Chill while making the topping.

2. Make the Coconut-Pecan Topping

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, and butter.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened (about 8–10 minutes).
  • Stir in coconut, pecans, and vanilla. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble and Chill

  • Spread the topping evenly over the chilled fudge base.
  • Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until completely set.
  • Cut into squares and serve cold or at room temperature.

🌟 Tips for Perfect German Chocolate Fudge

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the smoothest texture.
  • Don’t boil the topping — cook gently to avoid curdling.
  • Let the topping cool slightly before spreading if it’s too hot or runny.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
