Make creamy, melt-in-your-mouth white chocolate fudge using only three simple ingredients. This no-bake recipe is quick, reliable, and perfect for gifting or holiday treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, room temperature
  • 3 cups white chocolate chips, good quality
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional Mix-in: 1/2 cup dried cranberries or 1/2 cup chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper if desired.
  2. Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Microwave the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chips are mostly melted. Continue stirring until the mixture is completely smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as this can cause seizing.
  4. Stir the room temperature sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the melted white chocolate until fully combined and smooth.
  5. If you are adding cranberries or nuts, gently fold them into the fudge mixture now.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
  7. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until firm enough to slice.
  8. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into 1-inch squares.
  9. Store the white chocolate fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For the best texture and to prevent seizing, make sure your sweetened condensed milk is at room temperature or slightly warmed. Cold milk can cause the chocolate to seize.
  • Use fresh white chocolate chips. Older chips may contain stabilizers that prevent smooth melting.
  • If you prefer a different flavor, substitute the optional mix-ins with 1/2 cup of crushed peppermint candies for a festive white chocolate peppermint fudge, or swirl in 1/4 cup of soft caramel sauce before chilling.
  • This simple homemade white candy is excellent for gifting when cut into neat squares and placed in small boxes.
