Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (340 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (397 g / 14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup (120 mL) heavy cream
- 1 package (92 g / 3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a baking dish with parchment paper, creating overhanging edges for easy removal of the finished fudge.
- Vanilla Layer: Melt white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until completely smooth. Whisk in vanilla extract and pudding mix until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly to create a uniform base layer.
- Chocolate Topping: Combine semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Heat and stir until achieving a glossy, velvety texture. Gently pour the chocolate over the vanilla layer, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Chilling and Setting: Refrigerate the fudge for approximately two hours, allowing the layers to solidify and bind together completely.
- Serving: Remove the fudge from the pan using parchment paper handles. Slice into neat, bite-sized pieces using a knife heated under hot water for clean cuts. Transfer to a serving platter and indulge in the decadent Boston cream pie-inspired confection.
Notes
- Prevent Crystallization: Stir sugar mixtures gently and consistently to avoid grainy texture, ensuring smooth, creamy fudge that melts perfectly in your mouth.
- Precise Temperature Control: Use a candy thermometer to monitor heat levels, preventing scorching or undercooked chocolate that can compromise the fudge’s silky consistency.
- Layer Separation Technique: Cool the vanilla layer slightly before adding chocolate topping to maintain distinct, clean layers that showcase the Boston cream pie flavor profile.
- Storage and Freshness: Keep fudge refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week, separating layers with parchment paper to preserve texture and prevent sticking.
