Cake Batter Fudge
Description
Cake Batter Fudge combines white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and vanilla with powdered cake mix to create a fudge with a sweet, almost cake-like flavor. The mixture is gently cooked and combined until smooth, then mixed with colorful sprinkles that contribute both texture and a festive appearance. Once poured into a lined pan, additional sprinkles can be added on top for decoration. Cooling the fudge at room temperature and then chilling it enhances its firmness, allowing for neat slicing.
The fudge has a creamy, dense texture balanced by occasional crunch from the sprinkles. The white chocolate and cake mix give it a dessert-like taste distinct from traditional chocolate fudge, making it a treat that looks and tastes playful.
Serving this fudge in small squares works well due to its richness and sweetness. It can be enjoyed as a snack, dessert addition, or party treat, especially appealing for those who enjoy the flavor elements of cake batter.
Chilling the fudge overnight is recommended to ensure proper firming, especially since some have experienced softness with shorter refrigeration. Using high-quality white chocolate chips and the right cake mix powder contributes to successful set and flavor.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk Make sure you are not using evaporated milk. Only condensed milk will work with this recipe.
- 2 cups white chocolate chips I only recommend Ghirardelli chocolate chips for this fudge. I have had no problems with this brand whereas people have not had their fudge set up properly with other chips, Ghirardelli
- 2 Tablespoons butter salted
- ¼ cup white cake mix not prepared -- just use the powdered mix straight out of the box. I use Pillsbury, or funfetti cake mix
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons colored sprinkles + additional to sprinkle on top, if desired, or mix of sprinkles and nonpareils
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until butter and chocolate chips are completely melted and mixture is well-combined.
- Reduce heat to low, and add cake mix and vanilla extract.
- Stir well, until cake mix is completely absorbed.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 Tablespoons sprinkles/nonpareils. Immediately pour into prepared pan, use a spatula to gently smooth the surface.
- Decorate with additional sprinkles, if desired. Allow to cool to room temperature. If desired, chill in the refrigerator until completely firm before cutting and serving. It usually only takes several hours for my fudge to become completely firm, but since some people have had issues with their fudge setting (see note or see video) I recommend allowing it to chill overnight for best results.
Notes
- Use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, to achieve the proper texture.
- Chill the fudge overnight for best firmness and slicing results.
- High-quality white chocolate chips, such as Ghirardelli, help ensure the fudge sets properly.
- Sprinkles added to and on top of the fudge contribute texture and decoration.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal after chilling.
