White Chocolate Cherry Fudge
Description
White Chocolate Cherry Fudge begins by drying chopped maraschino cherries to remove excess moisture, which prevents the fudge from becoming too soft. Butter, sugar, heavy cream, and salt are cooked together until boiling and reaching the desired temperature on a candy thermometer. White chocolate chips and marshmallow cream are stirred in until melted and smooth, then tinted pink with food coloring.
Finally, the dried cherries are folded in and the mixture is poured into an 8x8-inch pan lined with parchment paper to set at room temperature for several hours. The finished fudge yields a firm, creamy texture that cuts cleanly into small 1-inch pieces. The cherries provide bursts of fruity sweetness against the rich white chocolate base.
