Description
Creamy white chocolate fudge infused with zesty orange and tart dried cranberries. This festive, no-bake treat is perfect for holiday gifting or sharing with loved ones.
Ingredients
- 18 oz (about 510 g) white chocolate, chopped or white chocolate chips
- 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ tsp salt
- Zest of 2 oranges (about 1 Tbsp)
- 1 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped if large
- Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on opposite sides.
- In a heat-proof bowl over a double boiler (or microwave-safe bowl), combine white chocolate and condensed milk. Heat gently, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in salt, orange zest, cranberries, and nuts (if using).
- Pour mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for 2–4 hours, or overnight, until set.
- Lift fudge using parchment overhang and cut into squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For best flavor, use fresh orange zest over juice.
- Fudge can be frozen — wrap squares individually or separate with parchment.
- Can be made nut-free or adjusted with alternative dried fruits.
- Chill thoroughly to ensure a firm set before cutting.
