Learn How to Make Chocolate Fudge without Sweetened Condensed Milk with these 3 easy recipes!  I’ve got a basic one that is easy (but a bit advanced), an easier version, and the easiest version possible!  All are totally delicious.

How to Make Chocolate Fudge (without Sweetened Condensed Milk) -- 3 Options: easy, easier, easiest

What I love about not being stuck with using sweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk, is that if you need to make a dairy free fudge or vegan fudge, these recipes totally lend themselves to some easy swaps to fit those dietary needs.  I’m not saying I never make gourmet fudge recipes with these tasty ingredients, but sometimes I just don’t want to be stuck with only one recipe option.

I tried so many different recipes for fudge that didn’t use sweetened condensed milk and I had so many failed attempts  that I knew I had to share the techniques that actually worked and tasted really good!  Make sure to click through to learn how to make chocolate fudge without sweetened condensed milk.  Which method will you try?

  1. Hello! I can't wait to try this recipe. I was just wondering whether you store it in the fridge or at room temperature, and how long it lasts? Thanks!

  2. Thankyou, this fudge was good and easy, I followed your instructions but I didnt have coco so I used chocolate chips 1 cup and simmered like you said till it formed soft ball in cold water, delicious!!

  3. This recipe was a disaster. You say turn down heat and simmer, which is what I did (2 on my stove says simmer) for 10 min and never got the ball to form in cold water. Now I have glorified chocolate syrup for ice cream.

    • Hi Sara, simmer refers to a very very low boil and not a temperature on the stove. I'm sorry the recipe didn't work out for you...I'll double check the instructions to make them clearer. w-

  8. just finished making a batch of the easy one. It was hard to figure out, as the balls didnt form for me. I just winged it, and waited till it just turned stiff in the cup, and just as i was ready to put it in the tray added about half a cup of coconut........amazing!!!

  9. I doubled the easier one and did it on the stove top, around medium low. I added some salt and vanilla and it tastes good to me. I'll stick it in the fridge after it cools some more. Thanks for the recipe not matter how it turns out. I wanted fudge and didn't have any evaporated or condensed milk.

  10. The easiest fudge recipe I know is: 2 packs of crème drops, microwaved--add a tsp of butter. Stir. Cut when set.

      • Crème drops are an old fashioned (store bought) chocolate candy ball with white candy cream in the middle. You can buy them online. I find them in local stores during Thanksgiving and especially Christmas. They are usually packaged in a paper bag.

    • Oh my gosh..I just looked and see that my recipe widget is all messed up. So sorry for the inconvenience. I'm working on getting it fixed right now. Thanks for letting me know. w-

  14. The "easier" one is setting in the fridge as I'm typing this...I've made multiple types of fudge in the past, but some only set partially and turned out like taffy, while others were gritty and weren't smooth and creamy. Crossing my fires that this one works, if not I'm going to continue my hunt for the perfect fudge recipe! Thanks for sharing!

  15. It turned out hard but still an edible fudge, next time I'll read more carefully. In all it did work out well. I used peppermint extract in place of vanilla and it was enjoyable. I remember thinking I'd never make a good fudge but a good thermometer is a game changer :)

  16. Sadly I missed that the butter and vanilla go in together :\ I'm going to continue as per the rest of the directions, so wish me luck...I'm used to butter being melted with everything at the beginning.

  17. I tried this recipe and cooked the milk sugar and cocoa for about 20 minutes. It bubbled and bubbled but never reached soft ball stage. I gave up and added the butter and mixed like it said, but it's more of a liquid toffee than a fudge. Why do you think it didn't work out? Thanks :)

  19. In the easier recipe, it says milk of your choice except never tells when to put in the milk. When do you put it in?

  20. I love how easy all three recipes are, especially the "easier". I like this one because it goes in the fridge! :)

  23. I love making fudge. The first few times I tried, I failed miserably. Took me many attempts and different recipe's to finally succeed. I love this recipe not using condensed milk, definitely going to bookmark this and try it next weekend.
