Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Mixture
- 397g Carnation Condensed Milk
- 450g White Chocolate, broken into small chunks
Mix-ins and Topping
- 50g Dried Cranberries
- 30g Chopped Pistachios
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate and condensed milk: Break or chop the white chocolate into small chunks and place them in a non-stick saucepan with the condensed milk. Melt gently over low to medium heat.
- Stir until smooth: Stir occasionally while melting to combine the ingredients into a smooth and silky mixture. Alternatively, you can melt the mixture in the microwave using 10-20 second bursts, stirring frequently between each burst to avoid overheating.
- Fold in nuts and cranberries: Once melted and smooth, fold in most of the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries, reserving some for topping.
- Press into tin: Pour the fudge mixture into a prepared tin (lined with baking paper or lightly greased) and press it down evenly. Sprinkle the remaining pistachios and dried cranberries on top for decoration and gentle crunch.
- Chill to set: Place the tin in the refrigerator and chill for 1-2 hours until the fudge is firm and set.
- Cut and store: Once set, cut the fudge into squares. Store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- For easier removal, line the tin with parchment paper or plastic wrap before pressing the fudge mixture in.
- If you prefer a less sweet fudge, reduce the amount of white chocolate slightly or add a pinch of sea salt to balance flavors.
- Use good quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Chopped nuts and dried cranberries can be substituted or added according to preference.
- The fudge must be stored in the fridge as it contains condensed milk and white chocolate, both sensitive to room temperature.
