Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Mix-ins

  • Toasted pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)
  • Dried cranberries (optional)
  • Festive sprinkles or crushed candy canes (optional)
  • Caramel sauce and sea salt for swirl topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal of the fudge later.
  2. Melt the Butter and Condensed Milk: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter first, then add the sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently until combined and smooth, making sure the mixture doesn’t simmer or burn.
  3. Add White Chocolate and Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and fold in the white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is silky. Then mix in the vanilla extract for that signature flavor.
  4. Mix in Your Add-ins: If you’re using any nuts, dried fruits, or festive sprinkles, fold them into the mixture now, distributing evenly throughout the fudge base.
  5. Transfer and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully set, then lift from the pan and cut into bite-sized squares.

Notes

  • Use good quality white chocolate for better flavor and texture.
  • Always melt ingredients slowly over low heat to prevent scorching.
  • Line your pan well with parchment paper for easier fudge removal.
  • Don’t skip the refrigeration step to ensure the fudge sets perfectly.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container to preserve freshness and softness.
