Easy Gingerbread Fudge
Description
Easy Gingerbread Fudge is prepared by melting white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk, molasses, and butter over medium heat. Once smooth, vanilla extract and a blend of warm spices—ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves—are stirred in to infuse the fudge with gingerbread flavor. The mixture is poured into a lined pan and chilled until firm enough to slice.
The inclusion of molasses adds depth and a slight chewiness to the fudge, complementing the creamy sweetness of white chocolate. The spice blend brings a balanced warmth reminiscent of gingerbread cookies, creating a festive and rich confection.
This fudge is suited for holiday celebrations or as a seasonal sweet treat. It can be decorated with melted white chocolate using piping techniques once cooled, adding a decorative touch. The fudge should be fully cooled before slicing for clean pieces.
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips premium
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon cloves ground
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers optional
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease or butter the foil. Set aside.
- Combine white chocolate chips, condensed milk, molasses, and butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir frequently until butter and chocolate chips are completely melted and ingredients are completely combined.
- Add vanilla extract and all spices, stir well.
- Pour mixture into prepared 8×8 pan (make sure the pan is on a heatproof surface or oven mitt as the bottom of the pan will become quite hot).
- Allow fudge to cool completely before cutting/decorating (this will take several hours at room temperature, or you can speed up the process and refrigerate 1-2 hours).
- Once the fudge has set, cut and prepare white chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions.
- Pour melted chocolate into a small ziploc bag, snip off a small piece of the corner, and decorate as desired.
- Let chocolate harden (only a few minutes) before enjoying.
- Uneaten fudge can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
