🛒 Ingredients

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips (good quality for best melting)

  • 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 cup maraschino cherries, well-drained and finely chopped

  • Â― teaspoon almond extract (optional but highly recommended)

  • Pinch of salt (balances sweetness)

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped almonds or pistachios

  • Extra cherry pieces

  • Dark or milk chocolate drizzle

ðŸ‘Đ‍ðŸģ Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan
    Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.

  2. Melt the base
    In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat on very low, stirring constantly until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy. Be patient—white chocolate burns easily.

  3. Flavor the fudge
    Remove from heat. Stir in the almond extract and salt.

  4. Add the cherries
    Gently fold in the chopped cherries, making sure they are evenly distributed. (Tip: pat cherries dry with paper towels to avoid excess moisture.)

  5. Set the fudge
    Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Add toppings if desired.

  6. Chill
    Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until fully firm.

  7. Slice & serve
    Lift the fudge out using the parchment paper. Cut into small squares using a sharp knife (wipe the blade between cuts for clean edges).
