Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 whole Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and granulated sugar.

Step 2

Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 4

Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten each into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough chills, prepare the fudge filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll one dough disc into a rectangle approximately ¼ inch thick. Repeat with the second disc.

Step 9

Slice each dough rectangle into 2-inch wide strips.

Step 10

Spoon a line of cooled fudge filling down the center of each strip, leaving a small border on the edges.

Step 11

Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch the seams to seal. Place the filled strips seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

Brush the tops of the dessert strips with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the strips are golden brown and crisp.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and allow the strips to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 15

Optional: Dust the cooled dessert strips with powdered sugar before serving.
