Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Flavoring and Coloring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 23 drops cotton candy flavoring (optional but recommended)
- Pink and blue gel food coloring
Garnish:
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the foundation by lining a square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring edges extend slightly beyond the rim for easy extraction later.
- Melt white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over gentle heat, stirring continuously until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Remove the melted mixture from heat and incorporate vanilla extract and cotton candy flavoring, blending thoroughly to distribute aromatic essence evenly.
- Separate the fudge mixture into two equal portions, creating separate vessels for color transformation.
- Introduce vibrant pink and electric blue gel food colorings into respective fudge portions, gently folding until colors integrate seamlessly without overmixing.
- Transfer alternating dollops of pink and blue fudge into the prepared pan, creating a playful canvas of color.
- Use a thin knife or skewer to delicately weave colors together, generating a mesmerizing marbled landscape without completely blending hues.
- Sprinkle an array of colorful confetti-like decorations across the surface for whimsical visual appeal.
- Refrigerate the creation for a minimum of four hours, allowing the fudge to solidify and develop its characteristic dense texture.
- Extract the fudge from the pan using parchment paper edges, slice into precise squares, and present these delightful sweet morsels for enjoyment.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality white chocolate chips to ensure a smooth, creamy texture that melts perfectly without seizing.
- Use gel food coloring instead of liquid to prevent altering the fudge’s consistency and maintain a vibrant color.
- Experiment with different flavor extracts like strawberry or blueberry to complement the cotton candy theme and create unique variations.
- Chill the fudge completely before cutting to achieve clean, precise squares that showcase the beautiful swirled colors.
