Steps

10 minutes

1

In a saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar and cornstarch. Whisk together until evenly mixed and free of lumps. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to form a smooth mixture
2

Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture begins to thicken
3

Add chopped milk chocolate and continue stirring until completely melted and incorporated
4

Stir in the vanilla and continue cooking for another minute or two, until thick, smooth and glossy
5

Remove from the heat and transfer to a clean bowl. Cover the surface with cling film, making sure it touches the fudge to prevent a skin from forming
6

Let it cool completely before using as a cake or dessert filling. I used mine to fill a 4-layered 7-inch Matilda Chocolate Cake
