Chocolate Fudge Filling

Ingredients

• 1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

• 1.

  Place chocolate chips, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Heat evaporated milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it just comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate mixture; let stand until chocolate melts, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla, whisk until filling is smooth and well combined.

• 2.

  Transfer chocolate filling to refrigerator; let chill until slightly firm, but still spreadable, about 2 hours.
