Indulge in the creamy, fruity, and nutty bliss of White Chocolate Cherry Fudge, a delightful treat perfect for any occasion. This easy-to-make fudge combines sweet white chocolate with the tartness of dried cherries and the crunch of chopped nuts, creating a flavor explosion in every bite. 🍒🍫✨
Ingredients:
2 cups white chocolate chips 🍫
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk 🥛
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 🌿
1 cup dried cherries, chopped 🍒
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) 🌰
A pinch of salt 🧂
Instructions:
1️⃣ Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Lightly grease the lined pan with cooking spray or butter.
2️⃣ In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
3️⃣ Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the white chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to overheat or burn the chocolate.
4️⃣ Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
5️⃣ Fold in the chopped dried cherries and chopped nuts if using, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
6️⃣ Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
7️⃣ Optional: Press a few extra dried cherries and chopped nuts on top of the fudge for decoration.
8️⃣ Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours or until it is set and firm.
9️⃣ Once the fudge is set, use the overhang of the parchment paper or foil to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares or rectangles.
🔟 Serve the White Chocolate Cherry Fudge at room temperature and enjoy the creamy, fruity, and nutty flavors!
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. It’s a delightful treat for special occasions or as a homemade gift for friends and family. Enjoy!
