Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (525 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces/396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- Red or pink food coloring (gel works best)
- Valentines Day sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a square baking vessel by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring excess paper hangs over the edges for effortless extraction of the finished confection.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by gently melting white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan, stirring continuously until the mixture transforms into a silky consistency. Remove from heat and incorporate vanilla extract, blending thoroughly.
- Divide the molten chocolate mixture, setting aside a portion for color enhancement. Introduce vibrant red or pink food coloring to the separated portion, mixing until the hue is uniform and appealing.
- Carefully pour the pristine white fudge into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Artfully drop tinted chocolate dollops across the surface, then use a knife to create elegant swirling patterns that intertwine the colors into a romantic marbled design.
- While the fudge remains warm, scatter festive Valentine’s Day sprinkles across the surface, allowing them to gently nestle into the soft chocolate.
- Transfer the pan to the refrigerator, allowing the fudge to solidify and set for approximately two hours or until completely firm.
- Once chilled, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Slice into precise squares or playful heart-shaped pieces, presenting a delightful Valentine’s Day treat that promises to enchant and delight.
Notes
- Prep the pan carefully to ensure easy fudge removal and a clean, smooth surface for your sweet creation.
- Work with low, gentle heat when melting chocolate to prevent scorching and maintain a silky, glossy texture.
- Choose high-quality white chocolate chips for a richer, more luxurious fudge that melts smoothly and tastes decadent.
- Experiment with natural food coloring like beet powder or freeze-dried strawberry powder for a healthier, vibrant pink hue.
- Create dairy-free variations by substituting sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk or cashew cream for a vegan-friendly treat.
- Control swirling technique to achieve different marbling effects, from subtle blends to dramatic color patterns.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
