Vanilla Fudge
Description
This Vanilla Fudge recipe combines white chocolate baking chips and sweetened condensed milk, melted together carefully in the microwave or with a double boiler. The mixture is stirred continuously to achieve a smooth, unified texture before vanilla extract is added for flavor. The fudge is poured quickly into a prepared parchment-lined pan and allowed to cool and set completely.
The resulting fudge is rich and creamy, with the sweetness tempered by the vanilla. It cuts cleanly into squares and can be customized by adding chopped walnuts or confectionery sprinkles. Using pure white chocolate rather than baking chips may require increasing the chocolate quantity to maintain consistency. A sprinkle of flaked salt can add a subtle contrast to the sweetness.
This fudge is a no-bake treat ideal for snack trays or gift boxes, easy to prepare and store. It can be kept covered at room temperature until ready to serve or wrapped for storage.
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate baking chips (about 1 1/2 bags)
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract or clear vanilla extract, pure
Instructions
- Prepare a 7x11 or 8x8 baking dish by lining with parchment paper.
- Place white chocolate baking chips in a microwave safe bowl.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and stir together.
- Heat in the microwave at 75%-80% power 1 minute at a time, stirring well after each minute.
- When chocolate is to the point where it is melted and smooth (do not overheat), stir in vanilla and immediately pour into the prepared baking dish. Quickly smooth out if needed.
- Cover with plastic wrap and allow to cool completely. Lift the fudge from the baking dish by pulling up the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and cut into squares.
Notes
- Chocolate and condensed milk can be melted over a double boiler instead of the microwave.
- Add chopped walnuts or sprinkles for variations in texture and appearance.
- If using pure white chocolate, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup more to maintain consistency.
- A light sprinkle of flaked salt on cut pieces balances sweetness and adds an elegant touch.
