Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 20 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or high-quality chopped white chocolate
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
- Pink gel food coloring (a few drops)
Optional Ingredients
- Sprinkles
- Dry cherries
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper, ensuring it overhangs on two sides. This will allow easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Chop Chocolate (if needed): If using regular white chocolate, chop it finely into small pieces to ensure even melting in the microwave.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix the white chocolate pieces or wafers with the sweetened condensed milk.
- Microwave and Stir: Heat the mixture in 20 to 30 second increments in the microwave. Stir thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Typically, two intervals suffice, but ensure stirring well between sessions since residual heat aids melting.
- Add Color: Stir in a few drops of pink gel food coloring. For an ombre effect, leave part of the mixture white and partially blend the pink to create color variation.
- Add Optional Mix-ins: If desired, gently fold in dried cherries and sprinkles for added flavor and texture.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until fully set and firm.
- Cut into Shapes: Once hardened, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the fudge into shapes. To ease cutting and protect your hands, place a kitchen towel over the cutter and press gently but firmly.
- Serve: Arrange the fudge pieces on a serving platter and enjoy this sweet, creamy treat.
Notes
- Make sure to use high-quality white chocolate for the best texture and flavor.
- Microwave times may vary depending on your appliance; melt chocolate gradually to avoid burning.
- You can customize the fudge with different colors or mix-ins like nuts or dried fruits.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
