3 Ingredient Coconut Fudge
This creamy coconut flavored fudge is very easy to make. It is just 3 ingredients and doesn’t require a candy thermometer or a stove. The fudge stores well so it can be made ahead of time for an event or for gifting.
I really enjoy coconut flavored food so this fudge is one of my favorite fudge flavors I’ve made. It is sweet, creamy and full of coconut flavor. I also think it looks very festive.
Ingredients
- White chocolate chips
- Condensed milk
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
White chocolate chips: White chocolate chips are melted down to create the base of this fudge.
Condensed milk: This fudge uses full fat sweetened condensed milk. When mixed with the white chocolate, it keeps the chocolate creamy and soft.
Unsweetened coconut: The fudge is mixed with unsweetened shredded coconut. Because the fudge is quite sweet, I recommend using unsweetened rather than sweetened.
How to Make Coconut Fudge
The white chocolate is first melted until smooth and mixed with the condensed milk. Then the coconut is stirred in. The fudge is then placed into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle more coconut on the surface and then place into the freezer until firm. Bring the fudge to room temperature before slicing and serving.

3 Ingredient Coconut Fudge
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (266 g) white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (118 ml/141 g) sweetened full fat condensed milk, room temperature
- 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened shredded coconut, plus additional for topping
Instructions
- Line the bottom of an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add white chocolate chips and condensed milk to a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Heat chocolate in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula until chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is uniform. Your mixture will be very thick.
- Stir in the shredded coconut until it is evenly combined. Add the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Use a spatula to spread the fudge mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan and smooth the surface. Rap the bottom of the pan against your counter a few times to eliminate any air bubbles. Sprinkle some additional coconut across the surface of the fudge.
- Place fudge into the freezer until set (about 30 minutes). The fudge is ready when it feels firm to the touch. Bring the fudge to room temperature before cutting with a sharp knife. Store uneaten fudge in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- I recommend using a fresh new bag of white chocolate chips. Chocolate chips that are older or that have been opened before don't melt as well.
- I recommend using unsweetened shredded coconut because the fudge is very sweet already.
This sounds so easy and delicious! I bet even I could make this and not mess it up. Lol I wonder about adding crushed peppermints?
We haven’t tried that but others have added in other ingredients like nuts and it worked well for them!
This was so easy & delicious! I made it for a party & everyone loved it. Such a great recipe!!
We’re so glad everyone loved it!
Thank you for the easy recipes that I can follow and not mess up the outcome of the recipe. I am not Betty Crocker and do have difficulty reading and following recipes especially if there are many ingredients and steps. However, these short recipes with minimal ingredients are just perfect for
me to attempt and succeed.
Thank you 🙂
You are very welcome!
I loved it, but I added the pecans, the same measurement as the coconut, then toasted both the coconut and pecans on the stove before putting them in the fudge, and it was heavenly ?? so so so so good!
Adding pecans sounds delicious!
Can I use a cookie cutter to cut the semi frozen fudge?
I don’t recommend cutting when it’s still frozen as it will be difficult to cut through and will just end up breaking. You can try to use a cookie cutter once the fudge is room temperature but it may be difficult to cut with a cookie cutter.
I haven’t tried the recipe yet buy I make some for Christmas to give to family and friends ?
We hope they loved it!

This seems delicious!!! In Brazil, we have cocada. It’s similar to the fudge, but instead of chocolate, we put more sugar. Now I want to taste it with chocolate!
Let us know how you like it!
Devine. Thank you.
I’m so glad you enjoyed!
I’d love to try making this with sweetened condensed coconut milk, ramp up the coconut flavor and make it non dairy. Mahalo for sharing your recipe
You’re welcome! Let us know how it works for you!
Hello. This is my first time leaving a comment. I was just wondering if vanilla almondbark would work.? Thats all I have they are squares so how much would I use.
You can use the same amount – 266 grams – but we’re not sure how many squares that would be. You could divide the total weight listed on the package to determine how many grams each square is. Hope that helps!
Thanks allot for all your support and guidance

Could I add coconut extract or do you think that would that be too much cocnut flavoring?
You could add a few drops if you would like. I thought adding shredded coconut added a good amount of coconut flavor to the fudge but adding extract probably won’t be too much coconut flavor.
Love the recipe that are quick & easy. I’m use to cooking for a lot family now there is only two to three of us.
We’re glad you’re enjoying the recipes!
Your recipes look great and yummy.
Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for posting this. I’ve never liked fudge, but love this! I shared it on Facebook, I hope that’s ok?
Thank you for sharing it! We’re so glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Can you use coconut milk instead of condensed milk for the coconut fudge?
The fudge will not set with coconut milk.
Can you use semi sweet chocolate chips instead of white chocolate?
We haven’t tried it but it should work fine!
