Instructions
1. Prep the Pan
Grease a small 8×4-inch loaf pan with butter and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

In a saucepan over low heat, add the condensed milk, sifted cocoa powder, and butter. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until completely smooth and glossy.
Tip: Add 1 extra tbsp of butter for a shinier finish.
3. Pour & Chill
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or place in the freezer for 30 minutes for quicker setting.
4. Slice & Enjoy
Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment. Cut into 16 squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
