Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Flavor & Texture Additions
- 1/2 cup raspberry puree
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Melt Ingredients: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt to enhance the taste and balance the sweetness.
- Create Raspberry Swirl: Gently fold in the raspberry puree. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a beautiful swirl effect throughout the fudge.
- Add Nuts (Optional): If desired, mix in the chopped nuts briefly to evenly distribute them without disturbing the raspberry swirls.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Place in the refrigerator and chill for 2-3 hours until firm and set.
- Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and serve as a festive holiday treat.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh raspberry puree or high-quality frozen berries.
- Chopped nuts can be omitted or substituted with your favorite nut like almonds or pecans.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer texture.
- Can be decorated with additional fresh raspberries or white chocolate drizzle for presentation.
