Ingredients
- 18-21 ounces white chocolate chips*
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (equals 1 can)
- 1 teaspoon cotton candy flavoring
- food coloring: pink, blue, white
- *If using pure white chocolate, with cocoa butter listed in the ingredients, use 21 ounces of white chocolate otherwise use 18 ounces.
Instructions
-
Line an 8-inch square pan with non-stick tin foil or parchment paper.
-
Stir together the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave safe bowl and heat at 70% power for 90 seconds.
-
Let the bowl rest in the microwave for 3 minutes before stirring. This allows the heat in the bowl to help melt all the chocolate evenly.
-
Alternatively, you can melt the white chocolate and condensed milk in a saucepan set over low heat on the stove until 75% of the chocolate is melted then remove from the heat and let rest for 3 minutes before stirring until melted.
-
Stir in the cotton candy flavoring.
-
Color with white food coloring.
-
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the warm fudge into a small bowl and color that using blue coloring.
-
Color the remaining fudge using pink food coloring.
-
Pour the pink fudge into the lined pan and spread into an even layer.
-
Spoon the blue fudge into a disposable pastry bag or a small zip top bag and snip off a tip.
-
Pipe 16 swirls of blue fudge onto the pink fudge.
-
Cover the pan with plastic wrap or tin foil (don't allow it to touch the fudge) and either set aside at room temperature for at least 4 hours until firm or chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until firm.
-
When ready, peel the tin foil or parchment paper off the bottom of the fudge and cut the fudge into 16 squares.
