Embrace the delicate sweetness of Cherry Blossom Fudge, a visually stunning and utterly indulgent treat thatโs as delightful to look at as it is to eat. This vibrant pink fudge blends creamy white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and a hint of cherry extract for a luxuriously smooth texture and an irresistible burst of cherry flavor. Packed with chopped sweetened dried cherries, each bite offers a chewy, fruity surprise, while an optional swirl of white chocolate drizzle adds an elegant finishing touch. Perfect for spring celebrations, gift-giving, or satisfying your sweet tooth, this quick and easy no-bake dessert comes together in just 10 minutes of prep time. Refrigerate to set, and youโll have a batch of perfectly portioned fudge squares that are sure to be the centerpiece of your table.
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the fudge out later.
In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the white chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes in total.
Stir in the cherry extract and pink food coloring until fully incorporated, creating a uniform pink hue.
Gently fold in the chopped sweetened dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Optional: Melt the white chocolate drizzle and drizzle it decoratively over the top of the fudge for added flair.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut it into 16 squares or your desired serving size.
Store the Cherry Blossom Fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
