Ingredient Highlights
- White Chocolate Chips: White chocolate is the perfect base for this fudge, offering a rich and creamy texture that complements the strawberry flavor.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: The condensed milk helps to give the fudge its smooth, melt-in-your-mouth consistency.

- Freeze-Dried Strawberries (Optional): These can be crushed and added to the fudge for an extra burst of strawberry flavor and texture.
Instructions
Prepare the Fudge Base:
- Prepare the Strawberry Puree: If using fresh strawberries, blend them in a food processor or blender until smooth. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them first before blending. Measure out 1/4 cup of the puree and set aside.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the Strawberry Puree: Once the white chocolate mixture is smooth, stir in the strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue to stir until everything is well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Set the Fudge:
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or foil. This will make it easier to remove the fudge once it’s set.
- Pour the Fudge Mixture into the Pan: Pour the strawberry fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Chill the Fudge: Refrigerate the fudge for 1-2 hours, or until it is firm and set. For quicker setting, you can place it in the freezer for about 1 hour.
Serve the Fudge:
- Cut and Serve: Once the fudge is set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into small squares. Serve immediately or store for later.
