Description
This festive Christmas fudge recipe features a creamy white chocolate base swirled with vibrant red and green gel food coloring to create a beautiful holiday treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 22 oz (2 11-oz. bags) white chocolate chips (Ghirardelli brand recommended)
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- ¼–½ teaspoon red gel food coloring (Americolor brand suggested; start with ¼ teaspoon and add as needed)
- ¼–½ teaspoon green gel food coloring (start with ¼ teaspoon and add as needed)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch straight-sided baking pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper overhangs the sides to allow easy removal of fudge once set.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and cold cubes of unsalted butter. Stir constantly for 4-6 minutes until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
- Transfer one-third of the melted mixture to a small bowl. Add red gel food coloring starting with ¼ teaspoon, stirring until fully incorporated and the color is even without streaks.
- In a second small bowl, combine another third of the chocolate mixture with green gel food coloring, starting with ¼ teaspoon, stirring until the color is uniform.
- Drop dollops of the white, red, and green fudge mixtures randomly into the prepared baking pan until all mixtures are used.
- Using a wooden skewer or butter knife, gently swirl the colors together on the top to create a decorative marbled pattern.
- Place a small piece of parchment paper over the fudge and gently press down to smooth the surface, taking care not to disturb the swirl pattern.
- Refrigerate the fudge for 2-3 hours or until it is fully set and firm.
- Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang, transfer to a cutting board, and slice into 64 pieces approximately 1×1 inch each. Serve chilled.
