Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 11 ounces (311 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounces / 397 grams) can sweetened condensed milk
Decorative Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup red candied cherries
- 1/2 cup green candied cherries
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Meticulously dice vibrant red and green cherries into delicate, uniform fragments to ensure even distribution throughout the fudge.
- Carefully prepare an 8×8 inch baking vessel by lining it with foil, gently brushing the surface with a thin layer of butter to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal.
- Create a gentle, indirect heating environment using a double boiler, combining white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Maintain a low, consistent temperature while stirring the mixture continuously, allowing the ingredients to meld into a silky, luxurious consistency with no visible lumps.
- Once the chocolate mixture reaches a smooth, glossy texture, immediately remove from heat and fold in the precisely chopped cherries, ensuring they are evenly suspended throughout the creamy base.
- Transfer the velvety fudge mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a perfectly level surface.
- Carefully place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the fudge to set and solidify for approximately 90 minutes, or until it achieves a firm, sliceable consistency.
- Gently lift the set fudge from the pan using the foil handles, revealing a pristine white canvas flecked with festive red and green jewel-like cherry pieces.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the fudge into precise 1-inch cubes, creating elegant, bite-sized treats perfect for holiday gatherings.
Notes
- Perfectly chop cherries into tiny, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution throughout the fudge and prevent large chunks.
- Butter the foil generously to make removing the fudge easier and prevent sticking, creating clean, neat squares.
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for a smoother, creamier texture and richer flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
- Customize by swapping cherries with other festive mix-ins like crushed candy canes, pistachios, or dried cranberries for different holiday variations.
