Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine mashed bananas, sugar, butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to simmer, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Simmer the Mixture: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Continue stirring occasionally as the mixture thickens to prevent burning.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract. If desired, fold in white chocolate chips and chopped nuts for additional creaminess and crunch.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the thickened mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly to prepare for setting.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature until fully set. Once firm, cut into 24 squares and serve your delightful banana fudge.
Notes
- Use fully ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and best flavor.
- Stir continuously during cooking to prevent the fudge from sticking or burning on the bottom.
- Optionally add white chocolate chips and nuts for extra texture and taste.
- Ensure the fudge is completely cooled before cutting to get clean squares.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
