- Baking parchment
- Non-stick saucepan
- Spatula or spoon
- Knife (for swirling)
- Microwave-safe bowl (optional, for melting chocolate)
🥄 Key Ingredients
- White chocolate (450g) – The base for our sweet fudge. 🍫
- Condensed milk (397g) – Adds sweetness and creaminess. 🥛
- Natural raspberry extract (just a few drops) – For aromatic depth. 🌿
- Red or pink food colouring – For a vibrant swirl. 🎨
- Freeze dried raspberries (1 tbsp or 5g) – Adds a delightful tang and crunch. 🍓
🍪 How to Make Raspberry and White Chocolate Fudge
- Prepare Pan: Line a 20cm square tin with baking parchment, ensuring it overlaps the sides. 🍳
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: Break or chop the white chocolate into small chunks and place in a non-stick saucepan with the condensed milk. Melt the ingredients gently over a low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and silky. (Alternatively, melt in the microwave in 10-20 second bursts, stirring frequently). 🍫
- Add Flavouring & Colour: Add a few drops of natural raspberry extract into the mixture and mix well. Divide the mixture into 2 bowls and colour one red or pink with the food colouring. 🎨
- Swirl & Add Raspberries: Add dollops of the fudge in alternating spoonfuls into the prepared tin. Swirl together for a marbled effect with a knife. Press the freeze dried raspberries into the top of the fudge so that they stick. 🍓
- Chill & Cut: Chill the fudge for 1-2 hours or until completely set. Remove from the tin by lifting the parchment paper. Cut into squares. 🔪
💡 Tips for Success
- Low Heat is Key: When melting chocolate, always use low-medium heat and stir constantly to prevent scorching.
- Don’t Over-Swirl: Gentle swirls create the best marbled effect. Over-swirling can mix the colours too much.
- Parchment Paper for Easy Removal: The baking parchment lining makes it incredibly easy to lift the fudge out of the tin for cutting.
🆘 Fudge Troubleshooting Guide
- Problem: Fudge is grainy or doesn’t melt smoothly.
- Likely Cause: Overheating or not stirring enough.
- Solution: Ensure you cook over low-medium heat and stir constantly until just melted and smooth.
- Problem: Swirls are not distinct.
- Likely Cause: Over-swirling or not enough contrast between layers.
- Solution: Use a knife to make only a few gentle swirls. The goal is a marbled look, not fully mixed.
👩🍳 Pro Chef Tips
- Garnish Ideas: Sprinkle with extra freeze-dried raspberries, white chocolate shavings, or even some edible glitter for a festive touch.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Variations: Experiment with different types of chocolate (milk, dark) or add a hint of other flavour extracts to the chocolate layer for a festive twist.
☕ Perfect Pairings: What to Enjoy with Your Raspberry and White Chocolate Fudge
This rich fudge pairs wonderfully with:
- Coffee: A strong cup of coffee or espresso cuts through the sweetness beautifully. ☕
- Tea: A delicate black or herbal tea can complement the fruity notes.
- Sparkling Wine: A dry sparkling wine can offer a refreshing contrast to the richness.
📦 How to Store
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
