Cuisine: Irish
Serves: 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup green food coloring
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the microwave and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile.
- Add green food coloring gradually, stirring until you achieve a vibrant, consistent emerald green color. Mix thoroughly to ensure even coloration throughout the fudge.
- Pour the green fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly, creating a smooth surface.
- Immediately sprinkle festive St. Patrick's Day themed sprinkles across the top of the fudge, gently pressing them into the surface to ensure they adhere.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until completely set and firm. For best results, allow the fudge to chill overnight.
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Place on a cutting board and slice into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Allow pieces to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
Tips
- • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the smoothest and creamiest fudge texture • Stir the chocolate mixture constantly to prevent burning or uneven melting • Add food coloring gradually to control the shade of green and achieve your desired intensity • Make sure sprinkles are St. Patrick's Day themed for extra festive flair • For a professional finish, use a sharp knife and clean it between cuts to get perfect square pieces • Allow the fudge to set completely in the refrigerator for the best consistency • If you want a deeper green color, add a tiny bit of gel food coloring instead of liquid • Let the fudge sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly
