A quick and easy fudge recipe combining creamy white chocolate with a vibrant raspberry swirl, perfect for gifting or a special treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (680g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1 (14 oz/396g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) fresh or frozen raspberries, mashed and strained for seeds
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) powdered sugar (optional, to sweeten raspberry swirl if using fresh raspberries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Sauce: In a small bowl, mash fresh or thawed raspberries. Add lemon juice and powdered sugar if using. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and softened butter. Stir constantly until smooth and fully melted (around 5-7 minutes). Be careful not to let it boil or scorch.
  3. Add Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract for a warm, aromatic touch.
  4. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  5. Pour the Base: Pour about two-thirds of the white chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
  6. Add the Raspberry Swirl: Spoon dollops of the raspberry sauce across the white chocolate layer.
  7. Top with Remaining Fudge: Pour the remaining white chocolate mixture over the raspberry dollops.
  8. Create the Swirl: Using a skewer or the tip of a knife, gently swirl the raspberry sauce through the fudge mixture to create a marble effect. Avoid over-mixing to keep those pretty ribbons.
  9. Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or until firm.
  10. Cut and Package: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out. Cut into small squares (about 1.5-inch/4cm pieces) and package in gift boxes or airtight containers.

Notes

Melt white chocolate slowly over low heat or use a double boiler to avoid seizing. Strain raspberry sauce to remove seeds for a smooth swirl. Chill fudge for at least 3 hours for best texture. Use a warm knife to cut fudge cleanly. For dairy-free version, substitute coconut condensed milk and dairy-free white chocolate.
