Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Melt chocolate with 2 tbsp butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between, until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Whip cold cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla with a whisk or electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

  3. Step 3

    Toss graham cracker crumbs with a pinch of salt in a small bowl until combined.

  4. Step 4

    Stir cold milk into melted chocolate until the fudge reaches a thick, pourable sauce consistency.

  5. Step 5

    Layer in a bowl or glass: fudge sauce, whipped cream, graham crumbs, repeat until full.

  6. Step 6

    Top with a final dollop of cream and cocoa powder dust. Serve immediately or chill up to 2 hours.
