Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Flavoring:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Elements:
- Red food coloring
- Green food coloring
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles (optional for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare a festive canvas by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring extra overhang for effortless removal.
- Create a silky chocolate base by gently melting white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until completely smooth. Remove from heat and infuse with vanilla extract for depth of flavor.
- Segment the molten mixture into three distinct color palettes: vibrant red, forest green, and classic white, using food coloring to transform the pure white base.
- Craft artistic layers by carefully spreading the crimson fudge as the foundation, followed by a pristine white layer, and crowned with an emerald green tier.
- Unleash creativity by delicately swirling the colors with a knife, generating a mesmerizing marbled landscape that captures holiday spirit.
- Elevate the visual appeal by scattering festive sprinkles across the surface for a touch of whimsical celebration.
- Chill the creation in the refrigerator for minimum 2 hours until completely set and firm, allowing flavors to meld and texture to solidify.
- Once chilled, lift the fudge using parchment paper edges, slice into bite-sized pieces, and serve this delectable holiday treat.
Notes
- Create a Non-Stick Surface by generously greasing parchment paper edges to ensure smooth fudge removal without tearing.
- Control Chocolate Melting by using low, consistent heat and stirring continuously to prevent burning or seizing of delicate white chocolate.
- Enhance Color Vibrancy with gel food coloring instead of liquid, which maintains better texture and provides more intense holiday hues.
- Try Flavor Variations by adding peppermint extract or crushed candy canes for a classic Christmas twist that elevates the traditional fudge recipe.
