This White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge is the ultimate festive treat. The smooth, creamy texture of white chocolate perfectly balances the tart bursts of cranberries, making it a must-have addition to your dessert table or a thoughtful homemade gift. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Directions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Dish:

  • Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over the sides for easy removal later.

2️⃣ Melt the Chocolate:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
  • Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted.

3️⃣ Add Flavor:

  • Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness and balance the flavors.

4️⃣ Incorporate Cranberries:

  • Gently fold in the dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

5️⃣ Pour and Set:

  • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.

6️⃣ Cut into Squares:

  • Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper edges.
  • Cut into 16 squares and serve or store.

Tips for the Perfect Fudge:

  • Consistent Melting: Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the smoothest texture. Stir frequently while melting to avoid scorching.
  • Cranberry Substitutions: Swap dried cranberries with dried cherries or raisins for a variation in flavor.
  • Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze it for up to 3 months.
