Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Cherry extract
- 4 drops Pink food coloring
- 1 cup Sweetened dried cherries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons White chocolate drizzle (optional)
Instructions
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.
