Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Add-ins
- 1 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray it lightly with a nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the fudge.
- Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the white chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add Flavor and Fruit: Quickly stir in the chopped dried cranberries and vanilla extract to incorporate evenly.
- Set the Fudge: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Chill in the refrigerator until set or leave at room temperature to firm up.
- Serve: Once firm, cut the fudge into small squares and enjoy your sweet treat.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Ensure stirring between microwaving intervals to prevent burning and achieve a smooth fudge base.
- Chilling the fudge in the fridge will speed up setting time significantly compared to room temperature.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to one week.
- For a twist, you can substitute cranberries with chopped nuts or other dried fruits.
