Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 24 oz white chocolate chips
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp almond extract
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.75 cup maraschino cherries, chopped drained very well and patted dry
  • 0.5 cup sliced almonds, toasted optional
  • 2 oz white chocolate chips optional, for drizzle

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving an overhang.
  • Pat chopped cherries completely dry with paper towels; set aside.
  • Combine white chocolate, condensed milk, and butter in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Stir constantly until mostly melted and smooth; remove from heat.
  • Stir in vanilla, almond extract, and salt until glossy.
  • Fold in cherries and almonds, if using, until just combined.
  • Scrape mixture into the pan; smooth the top and tap to settle.
  • Refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Melt extra white chocolate and drizzle over the set fudge, if desired. Cut into squares.

Notes

Try swapping half the maraschino cherries with dried tart cherries, or use pistachios for color. Store covered in the fridge up to 1 week, or freeze up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge overnight.
