Ingredients

  • ¼ teaspoon red food gel coloring Note 1
  • 2 teaspoons pure strawberry extract Note 2
  • 400 g sugar 2 cups/ 14 oz
  • 150 g unsalted butter scant ⅔ cup/ 5.5 oz
  • 150 g evaporated milk ⅔ cup
  • 300 g white chocolate chopped or white chocolate chips, 1 ¾ cups/ 10.5 oz
  • 1 jar strawberry marshmallow fluff 180 g/ 6.3 oz
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Note 3

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line the baking dish with aluminum foil. Lightly oil the foil.
  2. Chop the white chocolate finely. Skip this step if using white chocolate chips. Set aside.300 g white chocolate/ 1 ¾ cups/ 10.5 oz
  3. Food coloring: In a small bowl, stir together the food gel coloring and the pure strawberry extract until the color is evenly dissolved. Set aside.¼ teaspoon red food gel coloring + 2 teaspoons pure strawberry extract
  4. Cook: Place the sugar, cubed butter, and evaporated milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil on medium-low heat, stirring often. Once it boils, stir continuously and start checking the temperature with a candy thermometer. Once the mixture reaches 234 degrees Fahrenheit/ 112 degrees Celsius, remove the pan from the heat.400 g sugar/ 2 cups/ 14 oz + 150 g unsalted butter/ scant ⅔ cup/ 5.5 oz + 150 g evaporated milk/ ⅔ cup
  5. Stir in the white chocolate, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.1 jar strawberry marshmallow fluff + 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  6. Make swirls: Drop small amounts of the food coloring mixture all over the fudge mixture. Using a knife or a fork, create a swirled pattern by carefully going through the fudge mixture back and forth. Don't overdo it, or the fudge will turn completely pink.
  7. Let set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan or place small dollops of it in heart-shaped (or any other shape) silicone molds. Let cool for a while, then transfer to the fridge until completely set.
  8. Cut: Remove from the baking dish and cut into small squares or remove from the silicon molds by pressing the fudge out from underneath.
  9. Store: The strawberry fudge keeps for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator. To stop it from drying out, you should wrap it in wax paper and place it in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Gel coloring is best; it is very concentrated and doesn’t add too much moisture to the mixture.
  • If strawberry essence is unavailable, use vodka or pure vanilla extract. If using vanilla extract, leave out the vanilla extract needed later in the recipe. Using vanilla extract will reduce the strawberry flavor; the strawberry marshmallow fluff is not enough for an intense strawberry flavor unless you use the strawberry essence. However, pink vanilla fudge is also delicious.
  • Leave out if using vanilla extract to dissolve the food gel coloring.
