Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup dried cherries
- 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving excess hanging over the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Gently fold in the dried cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang, and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 24 squares (or your preferred size) and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
