The best part about it is if you like a certain ice cream flavour, you can make your fudge taste like it. Mint chocolate ice cream? Mint chocolate fudge. Adding mix-ins result in a flawless fudge, as well. In this example I added walnuts and sea salt, but the base of the plain fudge is just two ingredients: chocolate and ice cream!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Yield: 16 squares
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (8 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup ice cream
- 1/3 cup walnuts (optional)
- sea salt (optional)
Steps:
- Line a small dish with parchment paper. I used a small 5x5 in. glass dish and cut the paper so it could sit in there perfectly square. There is no baking required.
- Leave the ice cream out so it begins to melt.
- Put the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments until melted. Mix every 30 seconds to keep it from burning. Mix until smooth.
- Add the slightly thawed ice cream to the chocolate and stir until the ice cream is incorporated. The chocolate will start to harden a bit from the cold contact. Return to microwave for about 30 seconds and stir the mixture until it's all completely smooth.
- If you are adding nuts, give them a rough chop and stir them into the mixture now. Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared dish. Let refrigerate for one hour.
- Remove from refrigerator, remove from parchment paper, and cut into cubes. If you're adding sea salt (which I highly suggest) add as much as you like. Serve. Enjoy the smiles!

I made this batch in particular for my parents to last about a week. It was gone when I checked back the next day. Be careful! ;)

Ice cream is about the only dessert I eat. I'm going to try this with different flavors. I'm thinking the fudge would keep well if frozen.
Rich...for days, even.
