Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough Base
- 1 stick butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
Fudge Mixture
- 14 ounces Eagle-brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Spray a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the fudge.
- Mix Butter, Sugar, and Vanilla: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy, forming the base for the cookie dough fudge.
- Heat and Add Flour and Salt: Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for about 1 1/2 minutes until hot; this step helps eliminate raw flour taste. Then add the warmed flour and salt to the mixing bowl and blend until fully incorporated.
- Melt White Chocolate and Add Chips: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir the mini chocolate chips into the mixing bowl with the cookie dough mixture.
- Combine Condensed Milk with White Chocolate: Mix the sweetened condensed milk into the melted white chocolate until smooth, creating the creamy fudge component.
- Blend Fudge Mixture with Cookie Dough: Add the white chocolate and condensed milk mixture to the cookie dough base and mix on low speed until everything is completely blended and uniform in texture.
- Press into Pan: Pour the combined fudge batter into the prepared square pan and press it evenly with a spatula or the back of a large spoon to smooth the surface.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or longer if necessary, until it is firm and set to be cut.
- Cut and Serve: Once chilled and firm, cut the fudge into 1 to 2 inch squares. Arrange on a plate or platter and serve. Enjoy this decadent dessert!
Notes
- Heating the flour helps eliminate the raw taste and ensures safety when consuming the fudge.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips for the melted white chocolate if preferred, but melting provides a smoother fudge texture.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to one week.
- For variation, try adding chopped nuts or using dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
- Make sure the white chocolate is fully melted and cooled slightly before mixing with the butter and sugar to avoid graininess.
