Condensed Milk Fudge vs Traditional Fudge

Condensed milk fudge is a lot easier to make than traditional fudge.

Traditional fudge is very hands on and finicky.

It requires constant monitoring of the fudge temperature, and then whipping it to the right consistency.

One wrong move and your fudge might not set or it may end up grainy, requiring you to start the process all over again.

With condensed milk fudge you don’t need to worry about any of that.

As long as you carefully measure the ingredients and follow the instructions you will get perfect fudge every time.

That said, I do think traditional fudge has a better flavour and texture which makes it worth the extra effort but I would never turn down a square of condensed milk fudge.

About the Ingredients for the Butter Pecan Instant Pot Fudge.

Butter – I use salted butter, the salt in it really helps to balance out the sweetness from the other ingredients. If you use unsalted I recommend adding in a pinch salt.

Pecans – Taste test your pecans to make sure they’re fresh.

Condensed milk – Use a good quality condensed milk.

White chocolate – Don’t use actual white chocolate chips, what you want are high quality white chocolate wafers. I would recommend using Ghirardelli but any high quality brand will do. These chocolate are meant for melting and will help you avoid grainy textured fudge.

Cinnamon – You will love how the cinnamon gently plays off the other ingredients.

Vanilla extract – Adds a bit of mellow sweetness to the fudge.
