4th of July White Chocolate Fudge
This 4th of July white chocolate fudge uses a cooked sugar base combined with marshmallow creme and white chocolate chips, divided into red, white, and blue portions to create a festive layered treat. The fudge sets firm with a smooth texture and a sweet, creamy flavor accented with patriotic colors. Swirling layers with a knife creates a marbled effect, adding visual interest. It's ideal for holiday celebrations and sharing.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted
- 5 oz evaporated milk
- 2 cups marshmallow creme
- 8 oz white chocolate chips
- Food Coloring red and blue
Instructions
- Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- *Have everything ready to go before continuing, as the fudge will set up quickly. You will need 3 bowls, 3 spatulas, the food coloring and a knife.
- In a large pot or saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. When the mixture comes to a boil, stir constantly for 5 minutes. Add in the marshmallow creme and the white chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
- Divide the mixture into 3 bowls. Add red food coloring to one, blue food coloring to one, and leave the third bowl white. Stir each color.
- Pour the red fudge into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top as best as possible. Pour the white fudge on top of the red, then pour the blue on the top. (Stir each bowl before pouring, just in case the fudge started to set up.) Take a knife and drag it through all three layers, making the marbled effect.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting, at least 2 hours.
Notes
- Gel or paste food coloring is recommended to keep vivid colors without affecting fudge texture.
- Allow fudge to cool completely before slicing to achieve clean edges and proper firmness.
