Description
Homemade white chocolate caramel pecan fudge recipe promises rich, creamy indulgence with layers of sweet complexity. Pecans add delightful crunch, while caramel and white chocolate create luxurious texture for ultimate dessert satisfaction.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz/400 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups (510 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (120 g) pecans, toasted and chopped
- ½ cup (120 ml) caramel sauce
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prep Pan: Line a baking dish with parchment paper, creating overhanging edges and lightly greasing to facilitate easy fudge removal.
- Toast Pecans: Gently warm pecans in a dry skillet until fragrant, releasing their rich, nutty essence, then set aside to cool completely.
- Create Chocolate Base: Melt white chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until achieving a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Flavor and Combine: Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, then fold in toasted pecans, ensuring even distribution throughout the creamy mixture.
- Layer and Decorate: Pour the fudge into prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula, then artfully cascade caramel sauce across the top, using a knife to create elegant marbled swirls.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate for at least three hours until firm, allowing the fudge to develop a perfect sliceable texture.
- Serve and Present: Lift the fudge block using parchment overhang, slice into delectable squares, and arrange on a serving platter to showcase the luxurious blend of white chocolate, caramel, and toasted pecans.
Notes
- Toast Pecans Precisely: Dry-pan toasting unlocks deeper, nuttier flavors and prevents burning by stirring constantly and watching closely for golden-brown color.
- Manage Chocolate Melting Carefully: Use low, gentle heat to prevent scorching white chocolate, stirring continuously to maintain smooth, glossy consistency without separating or seizing.
- Control Caramel Swirling Technique: Drizzle caramel sauce sparingly and drag knife gently to create elegant marbling without over-mixing, preserving distinct flavor layers and visual appeal.
- Chill Completely for Perfect Texture: Refrigerate fudge minimum three hours to ensure firm, clean-cutting results, preventing crumbly or soft texture that compromises presentation and enjoyment.
