Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) dried cranberries
Complementary Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) chopped walnuts
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage for easy removal.
- Select a microwave-safe bowl and combine white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk for seamless melting.
- Heat the mixture in the microwave, using 20-second bursts and stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate vanilla extract into the melted chocolate, stirring gently to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the mixture.
- Fold dried cranberries and chopped walnuts into the liquid fudge, distributing ingredients uniformly to ensure balanced taste in every bite.
- Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it smoothly and create an even surface.
- Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours at 40°F, allowing it to solidify completely and develop a firm texture.
- Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges and slice into neat, bite-sized squares for serving.
Notes
- Adjust the cranberry amount to suit your taste preferences, ensuring a balanced flavor profile in every bite.
- Swap walnuts with pecans or almonds for a different nutty crunch and personalized touch.
- Ensure white chocolate melts completely by stirring thoroughly between microwave intervals to prevent scorching.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, maintaining its creamy texture and freshness.
