Instructions
Preparation Steps
Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving overhang; lightly grease the paper.
Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy; set aside.
Warm condensed milk and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until the butter melts.
Stir in white chocolate chips until fully melted and silky; keep heat low to prevent scorching.
Remove from heat. Mix in vanilla, cocoa, and salt. Tint the mixture a deep red with gel coloring.
Spread the red fudge into the prepared pan. Spoon small dollops of the cream cheese mixture over the top.
Swirl gently with a knife to marble. Tap the pan to level, then add mini chips or sprinkles if using.
Chill until firm, about 2 hours. Lift out with parchment and cut into squares with a warm knife.
