A quick and easy creamy Easter fudge recipe that combines white chocolate, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk for a rich, smooth, and festive treat perfect for holiday gifting and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips (preferably Ghirardelli)
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Β½ cup pastel-colored sprinkles or chopped Easter candy (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and softened butter. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly for 5-7 minutes until smooth and glossy.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend with a whisk or electric mixer until completely smooth and silky.
  4. Fold in pastel sprinkles or chopped Easter candy gently, reserving some to sprinkle on top. Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth the surface.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until firm. Lift out using parchment overhang and cut into small squares.

Notes

Use low heat to prevent graininess. Soften cream cheese at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before mixing. Tap the pan gently before chilling to settle the fudge. For dairy-free version, substitute butter and cream cheese with coconut oil and dairy-free alternatives. Add nuts or dried fruit after cream cheese step for texture.
