This is the only white chocolate fudge recipe you’ll ever need! It doesn’t require special equipment or extended beating, it always sets up, and it’s not too cloyingly sweet, thanks to the sour cream in the recipe. This is my go-to recipe whenever I need white chocolate fudge, and I use it as a base for countless other recipes. Just add your favorite flavorings, nuts, fruit, or other mix-ins, and you’ll see how versatile and delicious this recipe is.

Ingredients:

  • 1 stick (4 oz) butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 package (12 oz) white chocolate chips
  • 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:

1. Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Place the butter, sour cream, salt, and sugar in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until the sugar and butter melt.

3. Continue to cook the fudge, stirring frequently, until it comes to a boil. Once boiling, cook it for five minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. If you are using a candy thermometer instead of timing it, it should be at 235 degrees.

4. After five minutes, remove the pan from the heat and add the white chocolate chips and the marshmallow cream. (For easier scooping of the marshmallow cream, try microwaving it for 15 seconds with the lid off.) Stir vigorously until the chips and cream are melted and incorporated. If necessary, return the fudge to the heat for brief periods to melt the chips.

5. Add the vanilla and stir well. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Allow it to set at room temperature for 3-4 hours, or in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. To serve, cut it into small 1-inch pieces. Store White Chocolate Fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

FANTASTIC!!!, Member meltingmarion

This recipe is fantastic! I put the extract, marshmallow cream and chocolate in my mixer to beat it really smooth with the hot fudge mixture. Once it was smooth, I added 3/4 C dried cranberries, 1/2 C toasted sliced almonds and a 1/2 t almond extract. It was HEAVEN! I can't wait to try it with peppermint and the crushed candy canes :) * I will reduce the salt to 1/2 t next time.
