Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring (gel or liquid)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- White chocolate drizzle
- Crushed cookies
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of the fudge later.
- Melt the White Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate chips together with the sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Beat the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Add vanilla extract, unsweetened cocoa powder, red food coloring, and a pinch of salt. Continue beating until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is uniform in color.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the melted white chocolate and condensed milk mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly until the batter is smooth and evenly blended.
- Set the Fudge: Spread the combined fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Refrigerate: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or until the fudge is completely firm and set.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 36 small squares. Add optional toppings like white chocolate drizzle, crushed cookies, or sprinkles for added texture and decoration before serving.
