Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces/396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup marshmallow fluff
Flavoring and Coloring:
- 1 teaspoon bubblegum extract
- Pink or blue food coloring (optional)
Topping:
- 1/2 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking dish, ensuring overhanging edges for easy fudge extraction.
- Combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan, melting over low heat while continuously stirring until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Remove the melted chocolate mixture from heat and incorporate bubblegum extract, stirring thoroughly to distribute the flavor evenly.
- Introduce food coloring drops to create a vibrant, characteristic bubblegum-inspired hue, mixing until color is consistent throughout the mixture.
- Gently fold marshmallow fluff into the chocolate base, creating a light, airy texture that gives the fudge its cloud-like quality.
- Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a smooth surface.
- Optionally, sprinkle decorative toppings across the surface for added visual appeal and texture.
- Refrigerate the fudge for a minimum of 3 hours, or until completely set and firm to the touch.
- Once chilled, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting surface.
- Slice into neat, uniform squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the whimsical, sweet treat immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Customize the color intensity by adding food coloring gradually, ensuring a vibrant bubblegum pink without altering the fudge’s texture.
- Swap bubblegum extract with other flavor extracts like vanilla or strawberry for diverse taste variations.
- Use dairy-free white chocolate chips and coconut condensed milk to create a vegan-friendly version of this sweet treat.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
