Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Pistachios (optional, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Grease lightly with butter.
In a medium saucepan set over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt.
Stir continuously until the white chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the dried cranberries and pistachios (if using).
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Cut into 1-inch squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
