Step 1: Prepare Baking Vessel
Cover the inside of a square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs slightly over the edges for easy removal.
Press the paper smoothly against the pan’s sides and bottom.
Step 2: Create Creamy Chocolate Base
Grab a saucepan and combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Melt these ingredients over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
Keep the heat gentle to prevent burning and maintain a silky smooth texture.
Step 3: Enhance Flavor and Color
Remove the pan from heat once the mixture becomes completely smooth and glossy.
Fold in marshmallow fluff, bubblegum extract, and a few drops of pink or blue food coloring.
Stir until the color is evenly distributed and the mixture looks dreamy and inviting.
Step 4: Pour and Spread
Transfer the vibrant mixture into the parchment-lined baking pan.
Use a spatula to spread the fudge evenly, creating a beautiful, flat surface.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Step 5: Chill and Set
Place the pan in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
The fudge needs to become firm and completely set before cutting.
Avoid touching or disturbing the fudge during this time.
Step 6: Slice and Garnish
Remove the fudge from the refrigerator and lift it out using the parchment paper edges.
Place on a cutting board and slice into neat squares.
Optional: Dust the top with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

FAQs
Bubblegum extract is a concentrated flavoring that gives a sweet, nostalgic bubblegum taste to desserts, created from artificial or natural flavor compounds typically used in baking and confectionery.
If you can’t find bubblegum extract, you can use vanilla extract or bubble gum flavored syrup, though the flavor intensity might be slightly different from the original recipe.
The fudge is ready when it’s firm to the touch and doesn’t wobble when you gently shake the dish, which usually takes 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces / 400 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) marshmallow fluff
Flavor and Color Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon bubblegum extract
- 2–3 drops pink food coloring
Finishing Ingredient:
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage and smooth edges for easy removal.
- Create a gentle double boiler setup using a saucepan, melting white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat, continuously stirring to prevent scorching and achieve a silky smooth consistency.
- Remove the melted mixture from heat, then gently fold in marshmallow fluff, incorporating bubblegum extract and vibrant pink food coloring until the texture becomes uniform and color is evenly distributed.
- Transfer the luminous pink mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and eliminate any air pockets, creating a perfectly level surface.
- Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for approximately 2-3 hours, or until it becomes completely firm and set, which allows the flavors to meld and the texture to solidify.
- Once fully chilled, lift the fudge from the pan using parchment paper edges, then slice into precise square pieces using a sharp knife.
- Optional: Dust the fudge squares with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant finishing touch and additional sweetness.
