Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2.5 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Secondary Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup strawberry jam or preserves
Decoration:
- Pink food coloring (optional, for a more vibrant swirl)
Instructions
- Prepare a pristine workspace by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring extended edges for effortless extraction.
- Merge white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan, heating over moderate temperature while continuously stirring until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Eliminate the saucepan from heat source and incorporate vanilla extract, gently blending to infuse aromatic essence.
- Transfer the molten fudge into the prepared pan, meticulously distributing the mixture to create an even layer.
- Activate strawberry jam by warming in microwave for 10-15 seconds, rendering it more fluid and amenable to swirling.
- Artfully disperse dollops of warmed jam across the fudge’s surface, then employ a knife or toothpick to craft an intricate marbled pattern.
- Enhance visual appeal by introducing delicate pink food coloring drops, intensifying the swirl’s chromatic dimension.
- Chill the creation in refrigerator for 2-3 hours, allowing complete solidification and optimal texture development.
- Extract the set fudge using parchment overhang and segment into delicate, bite-sized squares for serving.
Notes
- Swap white chocolate for dairy-free alternatives like coconut or almond-based chips to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- Use low-sugar jam or natural fruit preserves to reduce overall sugar content and create a healthier version.
- Try different fruit jams like raspberry or blackberry for unique flavor variations that complement the sweet white chocolate base.
- Achieve perfect swirl consistency by warming jam just enough to be pourable but not hot, preventing it from sinking into the fudge mixture.
