Ingredients
Scale
Pink Fudge Layer
- 1 3/4 cups white chocolate chips
- 7 ounces canned sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 8 drops pink or red food coloring
White Fudge Layer
- 1 3/4 cups white chocolate chips
- 7 ounces canned sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Toppings
- Pink or red gel icing, a few drops
- 1 tablespoon heart-shaped sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, then spray with non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the fudge.
- Make Pink Fudge Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine half of the white chocolate chips, half of the sweetened condensed milk, and half of the butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth, which should take less than 2 minutes.
- Add Coloring: Stir in 8 drops of pink or red food coloring until the fudge mixture is evenly tinted and smooth.
- Set Pink Layer: Pour the pink fudge into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spoon or offset spatula. Place the pan in the freezer to set while preparing the next layer.
- Make White Fudge Mixture: In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the remaining white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well each time until completely melted and smooth.
- Add White Layer: Pour the white fudge over the chilled pink fudge base and gently smooth the top.
- Create Swirls: Place a few drops of pink or red gel icing evenly across the white fudge surface. Use a toothpick to swirl the gel icing into the fudge, creating decorative patterns.
- Add Sprinkles: Evenly distribute the heart-shaped sprinkles over the top of the fudge.
- Chill: Cover the fudge with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to set completely.
- Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment or foil edges, slice into 16 pieces, and enjoy.
Notes
- Do not overcook the chocolate in the microwave to avoid seizing; stir frequently.
- Freezing the first layer helps keep the layers distinct and prevents mixing.
- The gel icing swirls create a lovely visual effect but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
