Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz / 396 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 23 drops cotton candy flavoring (optional but recommended)
- Pink and blue gel food coloring
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing slight overhang for effortless removal.
- Melting Stage: Gently melt white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan, stirring until achieving a luxurious, velvety consistency.
- Flavor Infusion: Remove from heat and blend vanilla extract and cotton candy flavoring thoroughly, ensuring even distribution of aromatic essence.
- Color Transformation: Divide the fudge mixture into two portions, then introduce pink and electric blue gel food colorings, folding delicately to create vibrant swirls without overmixing.
- Artistic Assembly: Layer alternating dollops of colored fudge into the prepared pan, then use a thin knife to create a mesmerizing marbled pattern by gently weaving colors together.
- Decorative Finishing: Scatter colorful confetti sprinkles across the surface for a playful, whimsical touch.
- Setting and Serving: Refrigerate for a minimum of four hours until the fudge solidifies completely. Remove from pan using parchment paper edges, slice into precise squares, and serve these delectable sweet morsels.
Notes
- Control Chocolate Melting: Use low, steady heat to prevent scorching; stir constantly for smooth, glossy texture without burning white chocolate chips.
- Master Color Blending: Fold food coloring gently to maintain distinct color swirls; avoid overmixing to preserve marbled aesthetic and prevent muddy appearance.
- Ensure Perfect Consistency: Allow fudge to set completely in refrigerator for minimum 4 hours; chilling helps develop firm, slice-able texture and enhances flavor melding.
- Customize Flavor Variations: Experiment with different extract combinations like strawberry or bubble gum flavoring to create unique cotton candy-inspired fudge experiences.
