You know those recipes that look fancy, taste like a dream, and secretly take like… ten minutes to make? Yeah. This is that recipe. This Strawberries and Cream Fudge is creamy, sweet, and bursting with bright strawberry flavor thanks to the magic of freeze-dried berries!
It melts in your mouth, looks like it came from a boutique candy shop, and comes together with just three simple ingredients. (Yes. THREE. We love a minimalist queen!)
It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, baby showers, birthday goodie bags, or - let’s be real - midnight snacking straight out of the fridge! Plus, it’s almost impossible to mess up. No candy thermometer. No boiling sugar. Just melt, stir, chill, slice, and snack.
And let’s not forget how pretty it is - those flecks of ruby red strawberry against smooth white chocolate? Insta-worthy and then some. This is the kind of fudge you bring to a party and suddenly everyone’s like, “You made this??” And you just smile and say, “Oh, it was nothing!”
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 oz package freeze-dried strawberries, divided
Kitchen Tools:
- Measuring cups
- Food processor
- Medium saucepan
- Silicone spoon or spatula
- 8x8 inch pan
- Parchment paper
- Cutting board + knife
Let’s Make It!
1. Line your pan.
Line your 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside. This makes lifting and slicing the fudge a breeze.
2. Make it pink!
In a food processor, blend the sweetened condensed milk with most of the freeze-dried strawberries (save about ¼ cup). Pulse until smooth and pink.
3. Melt the magic.
Pour the strawberry mixture and white chocolate chips into a saucepan. Heat gently over low, stirring often, until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. Stir in strawberry bits.
Fold in the reserved freeze-dried strawberries for extra fruity pops and visual pizzazz. You fancy.
5. Pour & chill.
Pour the mixture into the lined pan and smooth it to the edges. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours until firm.
6. Slice & serve.
Lift the parchment out, place on a cutting board, and slice into 25 bite-sized squares. Try not to eat them all before serving. (Or do. I won’t judge.)
Tara’s Tips & Sweet Variations:
- No food processor? Chop the strawberries and stir into the condensed milk by hand. You’ll get a more rustic texture—but still delish!
- Drizzle with white chocolate for extra flair. You can even sprinkle on some crushed strawberry crumbs.
- Want more tang? Add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the fudge base for a slight cheesecake vibe!
- Perfect for gifting! Wrap a few squares in wax paper or tuck into a cute treat box. Great for holidays, parties, and teacher gifts!
