Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 1 n/a pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy fudge removal later. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, butter, and a pinch of salt over low heat.
Step 3
Stir constantly with a heat-proof spatula until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat to avoid scorching the chocolate.
Step 4
Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest until evenly combined.
Step 5
Gently fold in the dried cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 6
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with the spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Optionally, sprinkle a few extra dried cranberries on top for decoration and press them gently into the surface.
Step 8
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 9
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 36 small squares.
Step 10
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
