The Joy of Christmas Fudge
A creamy and colorful fudge that captures the essence of holiday nostalgia with its buttery-soft texture and festive red and green layers.
Ingredients
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips Choose high-quality white chocolate with cocoa butter as the first ingredient.
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk This ingredient helps avoid grainy textures.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
Decoration
- Red and green food coloring Add until desired color is reached.
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles Optional, for decoration.
Instructions
Preparation
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing extra paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir over low heat until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Divide the melted mixture into three bowls. Tint one with red food coloring and another with green, leaving the third bowl plain.
Layering
- Pour the red fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Layer the plain fudge on top, followed by the green fudge.
- Gently swirl the layers together with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle holiday-themed sprinkles on top while the fudge is still warm, if desired.
Setting
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut into small squares.
Notes
Serve at room temperature for the best texture. Store leftovers in layers separated by wax paper to prevent sticking.
