Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (340 grams) bag white chocolate chips
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) sweetened condensed milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
- 12 drops pink gel food coloring
- ¼ cup (30 grams) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
Garnish:
- Optional: sprinkles or additional crushed strawberries for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by lining an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring edges extend slightly for effortless removal.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by gently melting white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk, using short microwave bursts and stirring consistently until the mixture transforms into a glossy, uniform consistency.
- Enhance the confection’s character by introducing strawberry extract and a touch of pink gel food coloring, blending thoroughly to achieve a delicate rosy hue that captures the essence of summer berries.
- Introduce textural intrigue by carefully folding crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the molten mixture, distributing them evenly to ensure each bite will reveal bursts of concentrated fruit flavor.
- Transfer the vibrant mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it uniformly and create a level surface that promises perfect squares.
- Embellish the fudge’s surface with an artistic sprinkle of additional crushed freeze-dried strawberries or delicate decorative sprinkles for visual appeal and extra crunch.
- Allow the confection to solidify by chilling in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, ensuring complete setting and optimal texture.
- Once fully set, utilize the parchment paper handles to gracefully lift the fudge from the pan and slice into delicate, bite-sized morsels ready for indulgence.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the smoothest, creamiest texture in your fudge.
- Crush freeze-dried strawberries gently to maintain some larger pieces for better visual and textural contrast.
- Experiment with food coloring intensity to achieve your desired shade of pink, remembering that a little goes a long way.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain its fresh, creamy consistency.
