Orange Creamsicle Fudge
Ingredients
- Fudge Base
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Orange Flavor
- 1 tsp orange extract
- Zest of 1 medium orange
- Optional: 1–2 tbsp fresh orange juice use sparingly
- Optional Toppings
- Mini white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles or candied orange peel
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease if desired.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
- Fold in orange extract and orange zest. If using fresh juice, add gradually to avoid a runny fudge. Adjust flavor as needed.
- Pour mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Add optional toppings if desired.
- Refrigerate for 2–3 hours or until firm. Lift using the parchment and cut into squares.
Notes
• Use orange extract for the brightest flavor; juice can make fudge too soft.
• Zest finely to avoid chewy bits.
• Stir gently to prevent chocolate from overheating or seizing.
• For a marbled effect, color a small portion with orange food coloring and swirl on top before chilling.
• Chill fully before slicing for clean squares.
