Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Ganache Topping
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing for an overhang on two sides to facilitate easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Make Fudge Base: In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and mini marshmallows. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Flavor & Pudding: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the instant vanilla pudding mix and vanilla extract vigorously until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Set Fudge Base: Pour the fudge base mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it out in an even layer. Set aside while you prepare the topping.
- Prepare Chocolate Ganache: In a separate small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat just until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat immediately to prevent boiling.
- Melt Ganache Ingredients: Add the semisweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter to the hot cream. Let sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften, then stir until the ganache is smooth, glossy, and well blended.
- Top Fudge: Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the fudge base. Spread gently using a spatula to create a smooth chocolate layer.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours or until it is completely set and firm enough to cut.
- Serve: Lift the set fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into approximately 25 squares using a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried for clean cuts.
Notes
- For cleaner cuts, use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry between slices.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
- This rich and festive fudge makes an excellent gift or holiday dessert addition.
