Fudge Ingredients
- 3 cups chopped white chocolate (from four 4-ounce baking bars, Ghirardelli brand)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon rum extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Additional ground nutmeg for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch straight-sided pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to overhang the sides for easy removal of the fudge later.
- Melt Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir well, then continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract, rum extract, and ground nutmeg until fully incorporated to distribute the festive flavors evenly throughout the fudge base.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Gently tap the pan on the counter once or twice to eliminate air bubbles and create a smooth surface.
- Garnish and Chill: Lightly sprinkle additional ground nutmeg over the top for garnish, then refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or up to overnight until the fudge is fully set.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 1×1 inch squares. Serve at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use a high-quality white chocolate for the best texture and flavor.
- The microwave melting method requires careful stirring to prevent scorching; proceed cautiously in short increments.
- Fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a stronger rum flavor, increase rum extract slightly, but do not add actual rum as it may affect the setting process.
- Ensure the fudge is at room temperature before serving for optimal creaminess.
