Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp bubblegum extract (found in baking supply stores)
- 1–2 drops pink gel food coloring
- 1–2 drops blue gel food coloring
- Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, for garnish)
Tip: Bubblegum extract is strong, so start with 1/2 tsp, taste, and add more if you want a bolder flavor.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- Melt base: In a saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until smooth and fully melted.
- Add flavor: Remove from heat. Stir in bubblegum extract until evenly mixed.
- Divide & color: Split fudge mixture into two bowls. Tint one pink and the other blue using gel food coloring.
- Swirl: Drop spoonfuls of pink and blue fudge alternately into the prepared pan. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl colors together for a cloud-like effect.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
- Cut & serve: Lift fudge out of the pan, cut into squares, and sprinkle with edible glitter or sprinkles if desired.
Storage
- Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- For longer storage, refrigerate up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 2 months.
Why This Recipe Works
- Sweetened condensed milk: Creates a creamy, stable fudge texture without candy thermometers.
- White chocolate chips: Provide a neutral base that takes on bubblegum flavor and color beautifully.
- Swirling colors: Gives the fudge its dreamy “cloud” look—perfect for themed parties.
Expert Tips
- Use gel food coloring, not liquid, to avoid altering the fudge’s texture.
- Try pastel purple or aqua swirls for even more whimsical results.
- Cut fudge with a hot knife (run under warm water and wiped dry) for neat edges.
