Description

This Pink White Chocolate Fudge is a delightful and easy-to-make treat featuring creamy white chocolate combined with sweetened condensed milk and a splash of pink gel food coloring for a festive touch. Perfect for special occasions or gifting, this fudge can be customized with optional sprinkles and dried cherries, and cut into charming heart shapes for a lovely presentation.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 20 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or high-quality chopped white chocolate
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
  • A few drops of pink gel food coloring

Optional Add-ins

  • Sprinkles
  • Dried cherries


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to overhang on two sides for easy removal of the fudge later. Set the pan aside.
  2. Chop Chocolate (if needed): If using block white chocolate instead of wafers, chop the chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting in the microwave.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Place the white chocolate pieces or melting wafers and sweetened condensed milk into a large microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Melt Chocolate Mixture: Microwave the mixture in 20 to 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval to evenly melt the chocolate without burning. Typically, two intervals are sufficient. The residual heat helps finish melting the chocolate as you stir.
  5. Add Color: Once melted and smooth, add a few drops of pink gel food coloring. For an ombré effect, stir some of the mixture thoroughly while leaving some white, uncolored portions.
  6. Add Optional Ingredients: Gently fold in dried cherries and sprinkles if desired, which complement the sweetness and add texture.
  7. Refrigerate: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the fudge to set firmly.
  8. Cut and Shape: After the fudge has cooled and hardened, remove it from the pan using the parchment overhang. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the fudge into heart shapes. To make cutting easier and protect your hands, place a kitchen towel over the cookie cutter and press gently but firmly.
  9. Serve: Arrange the fudge pieces on a platter, serve, and enjoy this sweet, creamy treat.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it can seize or burn; stirring frequently between microwave intervals prevents this.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • The fudge must be fully chilled to cut cleanly into shapes.
  • Dried cherries add a pleasant tartness and chewy texture that balances the sweetness.
  • This fudge can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a different look, try other food colorings or mix-ins like nuts or coconut flakes.
