Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Flavoring:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Elements:
- Red food coloring
- Green food coloring
- 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a festive workspace by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring extended edges for effortless removal.
- Create a smooth chocolate base by gently melting white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until fully integrated.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and incorporate vanilla extract, blending thoroughly.
- Divide the melted chocolate mixture equally into three separate bowls, reserving one for each color – red, green, and the original white.
- Add red food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to another, stirring until the hues are vibrant and consistent.
- Carefully pour the red fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly across the bottom.
- Gently layer the white fudge over the red layer, ensuring a smooth transition.
- Follow by spreading the green fudge as the final layer, creating a festive color gradient.
- Use a knife to create delicate swirls, merging the layers into an artistic marbled pattern.
- While the fudge remains warm, sprinkle holiday-themed decorative elements across the surface for added visual appeal.
- Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing the fudge to set completely.
- Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and slice into bite-sized squares ready for serving.
Notes
- Adjust the food coloring intensity by adding drops gradually to achieve your desired holiday color vibrancy.
- Swap white chocolate with dairy-free alternatives like coconut milk-based chips for vegan-friendly Christmas fudge.
- Use a metal offset spatula for ultra-smooth layer spreading and precise marbling techniques.
- Ensure low, gentle heat when melting chocolate to prevent scorching and maintain silky texture.
