Ingredients
Scale
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor depth)
Instructions
Prepare an 8×8 inch pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the paper if you want extra insurance against sticking.
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave the chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until they are almost completely melted. Do not overheat, or the chocolate may seize.
Once mostly smooth, stir in the sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla extract (if using) until the mixture is completely uniform and creamy. This is the base for your simple white fudge recipe.
Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut the block into small squares. This makes excellent homemade white fudge.
Notes
For a Cranberry White Chocolate Fudge variation, gently fold in 1 cup of dried cranberries after mixing in the condensed milk.
If you want Caramel Swirl Fudge, reserve about 1/4 cup of the melted chocolate mixture, swirl in 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce into the main batch before spreading, then drizzle the reserved chocolate on top.
For a richer flavor, use high-quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate bars. Avoid using white baking chips that contain vegetable oils, as they may not melt as smoothly.
If you want a thicker, more traditional fudge texture, you can use a 3-ingredient white chocolate fudge recipe that incorporates marshmallow creme instead of relying solely on condensed milk.
