Vanilla Fudge with White Chocolate (3 ingredients)
A homemade white chocolate treat with an extra dose of vanilla flavor. It's easy to make and creamy. It's always a favorite and keeps well for a few weeks.
Servings 16 small pieces
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1 can
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers, callets, chips or chunks; see Notes below
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place the white chocolate and condensed milk in a medium mixing bowl and melt in the microwave or the stovetop. See Notes below.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Add the vanilla and stir again until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread even, tapping the pan on the counter to burst the air bubbles that rise to the top.
- Chill in the refrigerator until set. It can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours, depending on the temperature of your fridge.
- Using a sharp kitchen knife, slice the fudge into 1-inch pieces. For easier cutting, place the knife under hot water for 10-15 seconds, wipe clean and cut. Do this as often as needed.
Notes
Two ways to melt the chocolate and condensed milk: Microwave: melt the ingredients on high for 10 seconds, take out and mix well. Repeat until all the chocolate is melted. Be careful not to scorch it. That's why it's important to mix it well between each heating. Stovetop: Put the bowl over a smaller pan with a few inches of water. Over medium heat, let the chocolate and butter melt, stirring occasionally. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water and that no water gets into the bowl. If the water boils too much before the chocolate is melted, turn the heat off and let the hot vapor melt the remaining chocolate.
