Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (525g) white chocolate chips
- 1 can 14 fl oz (396g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- Red or pink food coloring (gel recommended)
- Valentines Day sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring overhanging edges for easy removal.
- Chocolate Base: Melt white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and fully integrated.
- Flavor Infusion: Remove from heat and blend in vanilla extract, creating a rich, aromatic foundation.
- Color Separation: Divide the white chocolate mixture, introducing red or pink food coloring to one portion until achieving a vibrant, consistent hue.
- Layering and Swirling: Pour the white fudge into the prepared pan, then strategically drop colored segments. Use a knife to create elegant, intertwining patterns that blend the colors artistically.
- Decorative Touch: While still warm, sprinkle Valentine’s themed decorations across the surface for a festive flair.
- Setting: Refrigerate the fudge for at least two hours until completely firm and chilled.
- Presentation: Remove from pan using parchment paper edges, then slice into charming squares or romantic heart-shaped pieces for a delightful Valentine’s Day treat.
Notes
- Precision Temperature Control: Maintain low, steady heat when melting chocolate to prevent burning or seizing, which can ruin the smooth fudge texture.
- Color Blending Technique: Mix food coloring gently and gradually to achieve a consistent, vibrant pink or red swirl without creating streaks or uneven patches.
- Sprinkle Placement Strategy: Add decorative sprinkles immediately after pouring while fudge remains slightly warm to ensure they adhere properly without sliding off.
- Cutting Perfection: Use a sharp, clean knife and wipe between cuts to create crisp, clean edges for professional-looking Valentine’s Day fudge squares.
