Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (about 340g) white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can (about 396g) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (about 150g) fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A few drops pink food coloring (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash and hull 1 cup of fresh strawberries. Puree them in a food processor or blender until smooth. Set aside.
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter and 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently until butter melts and mixture is warm, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid boiling.
- Remove saucepan from heat and stir in 2 cups white chocolate chips. Keep stirring gently until fully melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Return to low heat briefly if needed, but avoid scorching.
- Stir in the fresh strawberry puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and a few drops of pink food coloring (if using). Combine thoroughly until the fudge turns creamy pink, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm.
- Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares (about 1.5 inch or 4 cm pieces). Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Use low heat when melting ingredients to avoid grainy or burnt fudge. Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts. Refrigerate longer if fudge is too soft. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well. For dairy-free, substitute coconut condensed milk and dairy-free white chocolate chips.
