Description
This creamy banana fudge is a rich, melt-in-your-mouth treat made with ripe bananas, sweetened condensed milk, and optional white chocolate chips and nuts. It’s an easy, no-bake dessert full of fruity sweetness and indulgent creaminess.
Ingredients
3 ripe bananas, mashed
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, butter, and sweetened condensed milk in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10–15 minutes until it thickens and takes on a fudgy consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- If using white chocolate chips and nuts, stir them in now until fully melted and blended.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Let it cool completely at room temperature until it sets.
- Once firm, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor.
Customize with dark/milk chocolate chips, toasted coconut, or dried fruit.
Store at room temperature for 3 days, refrigerated for 1 week, or frozen for 2 months.
No candy thermometer needed—just watch for a thick, glossy texture.
Check ingredient labels if making gluten-free.
