Pink White Chocolate Fudge Recipe

Introduction

Pink White Chocolate Fudge is a delightful, creamy treat with a gentle hint of sweetness and a lovely blush color. This easy no-bake recipe combines smooth white chocolate with a touch of pink food coloring and optional dried cherries for a charming twist.

Ingredients

• 20 ounces white chocolate melting wafers (or high-quality chopped chocolate)
• ½ cup + 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
• Pink gel food coloring (just a few drops)
• Sprinkles (optional)
• Dry cherries (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper, allowing it to overhang on two sides. Set aside.
2. Step 2: If using regular chocolate, chop it into small pieces before placing it in a large microwave-safe bowl.
3. Step 3: Combine the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in the bowl.
4. Step 4: Microwave the mixture in 20 to 30 second increments, stirring well after each session until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Stir thoroughly before microwaving again to allow residual heat to melt the chocolate evenly.
5. Step 5: Once melted, add a few drops of pink gel food coloring. For an ombre effect, leave some of the mixture white by not mixing the color fully throughout.
6. Step 6: Optional: fold in dried cherries and sprinkles to add texture and bursts of flavor.
7. Step 7: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and refrigerate for 1 hour until set.
8. Step 8: After the fudge has hardened, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the fudge into shapes. To make cutting easier and protect your hands, place a kitchen towel over the cutter and gently press down.
9. Step 9: Serve and enjoy your pretty pink white chocolate fudge!

Tips & Variations

• For a smoother texture, chop the chocolate finely if not using melting wafers.
• Try adding different mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried cranberries instead of cherries.
• Use gel food coloring to avoid adding extra liquid, which could affect the fudge texture.
• For a bolder pink color, gradually increase the food coloring drops to your liking.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Before serving, you can let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Reheating is not necessary, as the fudge is best enjoyed chilled.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular white chocolate instead of melting wafers?

Yes, just chop the regular white chocolate into small pieces to ensure it melts evenly without burning.

How do I get the ombre effect with the pink color?

After adding the pink gel coloring, gently swirl it into part of the white chocolate mixture but don’t fully mix it. This creates a gradient of pink to white in the fudge.

Fudge Base

• 20 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or high-quality chopped white chocolate
• ½ cup + 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
• Pink gel food coloring, a few drops

Optional Mix-ins

• Sprinkles, as desired
• Dry cherries, chopped, as desired

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to overhang on two sides to aid with removal later. Set aside.
2. Chop Chocolate (if using regular chocolate): Finely chop the white chocolate into small pieces to ensure even melting in the microwave.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate pieces or melting wafers with the sweetened condensed milk.
4. Microwave and Melt: Microwave the mixture in 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each session. The residual heat helps melt the chocolate, so be sure to stir well before microwaving again. It typically takes about two intervals to melt completely.
5. Color the Mixture: Stir the mixture until smooth, then add a few drops of pink gel food coloring. To achieve an ombre effect, only partially mix the color, leaving some areas white.
6. Add Mix-ins: If using, gently fold in dried cherries and sprinkles, which add texture and flavor that pair well with the creamy fudge.
7. Pour and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until fully set and hardened.
8. Cut Shapes: Once firm, use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut the fudge into hearts. For easier cutting and to protect your hands, place a kitchen towel over the cutter and apply gentle pressure.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the pink and white fudge hearts on a serving platter and enjoy this sweet, festive treat.

Notes

• Using high-quality white chocolate improves the fudge’s taste and texture.
