Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon red gel food coloring
- 1 teaspoon blue gel food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Divide the melted mixture into three equal portions in separate bowls.
In one bowl, add red gel food coloring until the desired shade of red is achieved. Stir well to combine.
In another bowl, add blue gel food coloring until the desired shade of blue is achieved. Stir well to combine. Leave the third bowl uncolored to represent the white layer.
Pour the red fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a rubber spatula. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes to set slightly.
Next, gently pour the white fudge mixture over the red layer, spreading it evenly. Chill in the freezer for another 10 minutes to set slightly.
Finally, pour the blue fudge mixture over the white layer, spreading it evenly. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
Allow the layered fudge to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
