Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (680 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter
Flavor and Color Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- ½ drops green food coloring (optional)
Topping:
- ½ cup (60 grams) crushed peppermint candies or Andes mints (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a pristine workspace by lining an 8×8-inch baking vessel with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage and a light coating of culinary lubricant to prevent sticking.
- Craft the fudge foundation by gently melting white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisking with patience until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Elevate the flavor profile by removing the molten mixture from heat and infusing it with vibrant peppermint extract, creating an aromatic sensory experience.
- For visual allure, introduce a whisper of green food coloring, delicately swirling to achieve a captivating marbled aesthetic that hints at the mint’s refreshing essence.
- Carefully transfer the luxurious mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth the surface with precision and eliminate any potential air pockets.
- Embellish the fudge’s surface with a generous scattering of crushed peppermint candies or finely chopped Andes mints, adding textural intrigue and a festive touch.
- Allow the confection to set and mature by nestling it in the refrigerator’s cool embrace for 2-3 hours, enabling the fudge to solidify and develop its full flavor potential.
- Once completely set, liberate the fudge from its parchment cradle and slice into elegant, bite-sized squares ready to delight and surprise.
Notes
- Always use fresh, high-quality white chocolate chips for the smoothest, creamiest texture in your fudge.
- Control the heat carefully when melting ingredients to prevent scorching or separating the mixture.
- Experiment with natural food coloring like spinach or matcha powder for a green tint instead of artificial coloring.
- Adjust peppermint extract quantity based on personal preference, starting with less and tasting before finalizing the batch.
