The method

Step by step

1
Line an 8x4 inch or 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to act as handles.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Greasing the pan lightly before adding the parchment paper helps it stay in place.
2
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and the milk until combined.
About 1 min
3
Add the butter to the saucepan.
4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
About 3 min
Cook’s note: Constant stirring is crucial as the mixture thickens quickly and can burn on the bottom of the pan.
5
Once boiling, immediately remove the pan from the heat.
6
Add the sifted powdered sugar to the hot mixture and beat with a spoon or spatula until it is completely smooth and glossy.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Work quickly as the fudge will begin to set as it cools.
7
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.
8
Quickly pour the fudge into the prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer.
About 1 min
9
Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill until the fudge is firm, about 30 minutes.
About 30 min
10
Once firm, use the parchment paper handles to lift the fudge out of the pan and cut it into small squares.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: A sharp knife run under hot water will make cleaner cuts.
