Ingredients
Gingerbread Fudge Ingredients
2 (11-ounce) packages premium white chocolate chips
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions
- How to Make Gingerbread Fudge
- Prepare the Pan
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease or butter the foil. Set the pan aside.
- Melt the Base Mixture
- Set aside 1/2 cup of the white chocolate chips.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, molasses, and butter. Stir frequently until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Spices and Flavor
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Pour the Mixture
- Transfer the gingerbread fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface evenly.
- Create the White Chocolate Swirl
- Microwave the reserved 1/2 cup white chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
- Spoon small dollops of the melted white chocolate onto the fudge and swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled pattern.
- Chill and Cut
- Cover the pan and refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
- Lift the fudge from the pan using the foil. Cut into 1-inch squares and serve.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for smooth melting and the best texture.
- Avoid overheating the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
- For cleaner cuts, warm your knife under hot water, dry it, and slice.
Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.- Freeze for longer storage; thaw overnight before serving.
