Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz/396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups (525 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Red or pink food coloring (gel recommended)
- Valentines Day sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess to overhang for easy removal of the finished fudge.
- Chocolate Base: Melt white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan, stirring until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and blend in vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Color Variation: Separate a portion of the chocolate mixture and introduce red or pink food coloring, mixing until the color distributes evenly.
- Layering and Marbling: Pour the white fudge into the prepared pan, spreading uniformly. Drop colored chocolate dollops across the surface and use a knife to create intricate swirling patterns, blending the colors into a romantic marbled design.
- Decorative Finishing: While the fudge remains warm, sprinkle Valentine’s Day-themed decorations across the surface, allowing them to gently embed into the soft chocolate.
- Chilling and Setting: Refrigerate the pan for approximately two hours or until the fudge sets completely and becomes firm.
- Serving: Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into precise squares or whimsical heart-shaped pieces, presenting an enchanting Valentine’s Day confection.
Notes
- Perfectly Melt Chocolate: Use low, gentle heat and stir constantly to prevent burning or seizing, which can ruin the smooth texture of the fudge.
- Color Consistency Trick: Add food coloring gradually and mix thoroughly to achieve an even, vibrant color without creating streaks or uneven patches.
- Swirling Technique: Use a clean knife or toothpick and make smooth, light movements when creating marble patterns to ensure elegant, delicate designs without overmixing.
- Chilling Precision: Allow fudge to set completely in the refrigerator for at least two hours to guarantee a firm, clean-cutting texture that holds its shape beautifully.
