Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (397 g / 14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups (340 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Thickening Ingredients:
- 1 package (92 g / 3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
Instructions
- Prepare a parchment-lined baking dish by draping paper over the sides, creating easy lift-out handles for the finished fudge.
- Craft the creamy vanilla base by gently melting white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan, stirring continuously until silky smooth. Incorporate vanilla extract and pudding mix, whisking until completely integrated and lump-free. Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a pristine bottom layer.
- Generate the rich chocolate topping by combining semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe vessel. Heat in brief intervals, stirring between each to ensure smooth, glossy consistency. Alternatively, use a double boiler for precise melting. Delicately cascade the molten chocolate over the vanilla layer, spreading with gentle motions to achieve complete coverage.
- Allow the fudge to set by transferring to the refrigerator for approximately two hours, ensuring the layers become firm and cohesive.
- Extract the fudge from the pan using the parchment edges, then slice into precise, bite-sized cubes using a sharp knife warmed under hot water to create clean cuts. Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy the decadent Boston cream pie-inspired treat.
Notes
- Customize the pan preparation by using aluminum foil if parchment paper is unavailable, ensuring smooth sides and easy removal.
- Select high-quality white chocolate chips for a creamier, more luxurious vanilla fudge base that melts seamlessly and enhances overall flavor.
- Experiment with instant pudding mix flavors like French vanilla or cheesecake to create subtle variations in the fudge’s taste profile.
- Prevent chocolate topping from cracking by allowing the vanilla layer to cool completely and ensuring room temperature ingredients for smooth, glossy coverage.
