Description
Creamy, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth white chocolate fudge recipe with only three ingredients. Kosher, Dairy
Equipment
- Aluminum foil and cooking spray
- Food scale optional
Ingredients
- 450 grams white chocolate or about 2 1/4 cups of white chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 Tablespoons (30 grams) butter salted or unsalted
- optional 1/3 cup chopped nuts/chopped dried fruits/sprinkles
Instructions
Prepare the pan:
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil (spray foil with nonstick spray), leaving some excess paper on the sides to easily lift the fudge out later.
Assemble the double boiler:
- Fill the bottom of a saucepan with a few inches of water and place it on the stovetop over medium heat.
- Add the white chocolate, condensed milk, and butter to a heatproof bowl that fits securely over the bottom pan.
- Allow the water in the bottom pan to come to a gentle simmer or low boil. The steam generated will gently heat the top bowl and melt the ingredients inside. Stir the mixture continuously using a spatula until everything is fully melted and well combined.
Remove from heat:
- Remove the double boiler once the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are melted. Be cautious when handling the double boiler, and use oven mittens, as both pans will be hot. You can also add chopped nuts, dried fruits, or any other desired toppings at this point.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature for a while before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours or until it becomes firm.
- Once the fudge has solidified, lift it out of the baking dish using the excess parchment paper or foil, and place it on a cutting board.
- Cut the fudge into small squares or any desired shape using a sharp knife.
Notes
Stir constantly: When cooking the fudge mixture, stir continuously with a heat-resistant spatula to distribute the heat evenly.
Use high-quality ingredients: Choose high-quality chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. The better the ingredients, the better the end result will be.
Line the pan: Line your baking dish with parchment paper or lightly greased aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides. This makes it easier to lift the set fudge out of the pan easier for cutting.
Add mix-ins strategically: If you want to add nuts, dried fruits, or other mix-ins, fold them into the fudge mixture once you remove it from the heat. This way, they won’t interfere with the cooking process.
Be patient when cooling: Allow the fudge enough time to cool and set properly. Avoid the temptation to rush the process by putting it in the refrigerator, as this may lead to uneven texture or condensation on the surface.
Slice with a warm knife: Heat the knife blade under hot water and wipe it dry before each cut to get clean and smooth pieces. This will help prevent the fudge from sticking to the knife.
