Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pink gel food coloring
- Purple gel food coloring
- Blue gel food coloring
- Rainbow sprinkles or edible glitter (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing pan)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Melt the base mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, making sure not to burn the chocolate.
- Add vanilla extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract evenly for enhanced flavor.
- Divide and color: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into three small bowls. Add a different gel food coloring to each bowl—pink, purple, and blue—and stir until the colors become vibrant and uniform.
- Layer and swirl colors: Spoon dollops of each colored fudge randomly into the prepared pan. Once filled, gently swirl the colors together using a butter knife to create a marbled unicorn effect, but avoid overmixing to maintain distinct colors.
- Add toppings: Immediately sprinkle rainbow sprinkles or edible glitter on top for a magical finish.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
- Cut and serve: Use the edges of the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan, then cut into small squares to serve.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for bold, non-runny colors that maintain vibrancy.
- For a flavor twist, consider adding a drop of almond or cotton candy extract to the base mixture before dividing and coloring.
- Store finished fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
