Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon pure orange extract
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, being careful not to overheat.
Once the mixture is fully melted and combined, remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in the orange zest, orange extract, and salt until fully incorporated.
Fold in the dried cranberries evenly throughout the mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up completely.
Once set, gently lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut it into 1-inch squares for serving.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
