Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (525g) white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces/396g) sweetened condensed milk
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red or pink food coloring (gel works best)
Decorative Ingredients:
- Valentines Day sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by carefully lining an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring excess paper hangs over the edges for effortless removal.
- Combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan, gently warming over low heat while continuously stirring until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Remove the molten chocolate mixture from heat and introduce vanilla extract, stirring thoroughly to integrate the aromatic essence.
- Separate a portion of the white chocolate blend into a secondary container, then infuse the reserved segment with vibrant red or pink food coloring, mixing until the hue appears uniform and saturated.
- Transfer the pristine white fudge into the prepared pan, using a spatula to distribute the mixture evenly across the surface.
- Artfully deposit dollops of the crimson-tinted fudge atop the white layer, then employ a knife or toothpick to create intricate swirling patterns that marry the colors.
- While the fudge remains warm, generously scatter Valentine’s Day themed sprinkles across the surface for a festive touch.
- Carefully place the pan in the refrigerator, allowing the fudge to solidify and set for a minimum of two hours.
- Once completely chilled and firm, extract the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and slice into delightful squares or romantic heart-shaped pieces for an enchanting presentation.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate melts slowly to prevent burning by using low heat and stirring constantly.
- Choose high-quality white chocolate chips for smoother, creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Experiment with different food coloring shades to create unique Valentine’s Day color variations.
- Use silicone heart-shaped molds as an alternative to square pan for more romantic presentation.
- Swap white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate for different flavor profiles and dietary preferences.
- Reduce sugar content by using sugar-free condensed milk or low-sugar chocolate chips for health-conscious guests.
- Add crushed freeze-dried strawberries or rose petals for elegant decoration and subtle flavor enhancement.
- Store fudge in airtight container in refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness and texture.
