Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Chill Time: 2–3 hours (or overnight)

Total Time: ~2 hrs 20 mins

Servings: 16 small squares

Ingredients

1 medium ripe banana, mashed (about ½ cup)

2 tbsp unsalted butter

1 can (14 oz or 396g) sweetened condensed milk

300g white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: chopped walnuts, mini chocolate chips, or banana chips

Instructions

Prepare the Pan

Line a 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Lightly grease the paper to prevent sticking.

Melt the Chocolate

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, combine:

Butter

Sweetened condensed milk

White chocolate

Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and thick (about 5–7 minutes).

Add Banana and Flavor

Remove from heat.

Quickly stir in the mashed banana, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly combined.

Pour and Smooth

Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Sprinkle any optional toppings now (e.g., walnuts, banana chips).

Chill

Refrigerate for 2–3 hours or until fully set and firm.

Slice and Serve

Use the parchment paper to lift the fudge from the pan.

Cut into small squares using a warm knife for clean edges.

Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer.

Tips and Tricks

 Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.

 Don’t overheat the white chocolate—keep the heat low to avoid burning.

 Add crushed graham crackers or Nilla wafers to the base for a “banana cream pie” twist.

 For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free white chocolate and coconut condensed milk.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy chilled for a firmer texture.

Serve with tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon treat.

Great addition to a dessert platter, party table, or gift box.
