Orange Creamsicle Fudge
If you're a fan of orange creamsicle, you're going to love my easy-to-make Orange Creamsicle Fudge!
Equipment
- 8x8 baking dish
- heavy-bottomed sauce pan
Ingredients
- 2 ½ c. sugar
- ⅔ c. evaporated milk
- 12 oz. white chocolate chips
- 7 oz. marshmallow creme
- ½ c. butter cubed
- 3 tsp. orange extract
- A few drops of orange food coloring
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some to hang over the sides. Set aside. Place a small bowl nearby.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar, cubed butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Remove from heat. Stir in white chocolate chips and marshmallow creme until melted and combined. Pour about 1 ½ cups of the fudge into the small bowl. Pour the remaining fudge into the prepared baking dish.
- Add orange extract and orange food coloring to the fudge in the small bowl. Stir until fully mixed with no white streaks. Pour about ⅔ of the orange fudge mixture on top of the white fudge. Use a butter knife to create swirls, ensuring the orange goes deep into the fudge.
- Pour the remaining orange fudge on top and swirl again. Chill in the fridge for about 2 hours or overnight until solid. Lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper edges. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Using a heavy-bottomed saucepan prevents the fudge mixture from scorching or burning.
- Stirring the fudge mixture constantly while cooking ensures even heat distribution and prevents it from sticking.
- Be careful not to overcook the fudge mixture. Cooking it for too long can result in a grainy texture.
