Description
Creamy Easter fudge delivers a delightful pastel-colored treat perfect for spring celebrations. Sweet marshmallow and white chocolate blend seamlessly, creating a simple dessert you’ll adore.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)
- 1 (14 oz/397 g) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup colorful sprinkles (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare an 8-inch square baking dish by lining it completely with parchment paper, ensuring smooth coverage on all sides.
- Combine sweetened condensed milk and butter in a medium saucepan, gently heating over low temperature until completely melted and seamlessly blended.
- Immediately remove the saucepan from heat source and incorporate chocolate chips, stirring continuously until they dissolve entirely into a glossy, uniform mixture.
- Introduce vanilla extract and whisk thoroughly to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the fudge base.
- While the mixture remains warm, gently fold in approximately half of the colorful sprinkles, creating a speckled, festive appearance.
- Transfer the soft fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined dish, using a spatula to spread it uniformly and create an even surface.
- Delicately scatter the remaining sprinkles across the top, pressing them lightly to ensure they adhere to the fudge’s surface.
- Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for roughly 2 hours, allowing it to set completely and develop a firm, sliceable consistency.
- Once solidified, lift the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper edges as handles, then slice into neat, bite-sized squares for serving.
Notes
- Customize sprinkle colors to match different holiday themes or seasonal celebrations for a festive touch.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure all ingredients, especially sprinkles, are certified gluten-free.
- Slightly warm the baking dish before pouring fudge to prevent rapid temperature changes that might cause cracking.
- Create dairy-free alternatives by using coconut condensed milk and vegan butter substitutes for a plant-based friendly dessert.
