I went and did it again.
I made fudge.
Last week I helped host a baby shower for my sister in law, Casey. And, they are having a girl! The first girl in 8 years (3 nephews have come along the way to our family during this time, but no girls).
Needless to say, it’s super exciting. And it was very pink!
Strawberry and Cream Fudge is easy and delicious! You can DO this! You can EAT this! You GOT this! Sorry, getting carried away? Just excited about a new baby girl coming to our family around Christmas!!
I hope you’re enjoying my new site! I’m still working on some features and updates and ironing out the kinks, so thank you for your patience!!
Creamy strawberry and cream swirled fudge. No candy thermometer needed for this delicious and easy version!
Ingredients
- 2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- pinch of salt
- 11oz white chocolate morsels
- 7oz jar Marshmallow creme
- 1 Tbsp strawberry gelatin mix
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt butter with sugar, heavy cream and salt. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture starts to boil. Stirring constantly, boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Using a mixer, beat in white chocolate and marshmallow creme until fully blended and smooth (about 1-2 minutes). Pour half into a parchment paper lined 13x9 baking sheet.
- To remaining mixture, beat in strawberry gelatin mix, 1 minute until smooth. Pour over first layer and using a knife, quickly swirl the two layers together.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours until set (or overnight). Cut into bite sized pieces and enjoy!

Hi Aimee! I haven’t ever heard of Strawberry and Cream Fudge, but wow, it sounds incredible! Your website is so darling and your photos are gorgeous! Congrats on the addition of a baby girl to your family. That’s wonderful news! I look forward to reading your blog. I’ll definitely be adding it to my daily reads.
Thanks Bailey! Looking forward to getting to know you and your blog!
Looks great and so pretty. I bet everyone at the shower loved it!
What a beautiful fudge Aimee! I’m on a fudge kick lately. And I love that this is PINK! Can you tell that’s one of my favorite colors?
I can totally see myself with that bowl in my hands enjoying your pretty treats, one by one!
Congratulations on the upcoming addition to your family!!
So excited to try this!! It’s super pretty and sounds amazing. Congrats on a new baby girl for the family! I have a boy and 2 of my good friends had girls at the same time… it was the best of both worlds – I didn’t have to forgo anything cute while shopping. If it was for a boy, I could grab it, and if it was for a girl, I could grab it. LOL Enjoy.
A fudge that’s pink?! I love you. This is awesome and beautiful, Aimee! Is there a flavor fudge you can’t make?
OMG I love all things pink! This is perfect for a girl baby shower AND for breast cancer awareness month. I am loving fudge right now. You are so creative! How do you come up with these great recipes?!?! And how are you getting such amazing photos in the fall… it gets dark earlier and earlier these days in these Cincinnati parts
Keep the fudge coming!
You are so creative. This looks fantastic!
These are just lovely fudges….so pretty in pink. May I know is there other ingredient to substitute for Marshmallow Creme? Thanks and have a nice day
Wow, this fudge looks incredibly dreamy. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for linking to Mandy’s Recipe Box!

What a fantastic idea! I love fudge but I’ve never tried this type before. Pinning
Mmmm this fudge looks so good and so pretty, too! Love the pink and white!
Can’t wait to try this recipe, but first, I have a question. Is the white chocolate still hard or melted when you mix it in? I want to make sure that I do it correctly! Thanks, and keep the rockin’ recipes coming!
I have the same question but cannot find where anyone has answered. I am assuming that the chocolate has to be melted first. I will be trying this tonight for Valentines Day tomorrow. Hope it works with it melted first.
Hi Dee, NO you do NOT need to melt the chocolate first. Put it in your bowl and set it aside with the marshmallow cream. Once you pour the hot mixture over it, and turn your mixer on, it will melt and become smooth. It takes about 1-2 minutes with the whisk attachment. ENJOOY!

Oh how cute! Love your blog! Everything looks divine.
Man, you really do make the best fudge!!! I think this pink fudge is perfect for a little girl baby shower! Just the start of all the pink yet to come (since she’s the only girl)! Bet it’s sweet and delicious!
Thank you Tanya!!
Aimee, this fudge is gorgeous! I love the pink AND the flavor combo–I bet you have enough awesome fudge recipes to do a cookbook!
I loved this fudge…of course I love all your fudge. So creamy and rich and smooth…dang it…now I want fudge and it is WAY too late to be making any!
This fudge is so cute and fun! I might just have to try it for myself! I’m trying to get better at candy making, I’ll have to let you know how it goes.
Love this for a baby shower. Great idea!
Ooooooooo
These cuties are dangerous, though they have a high level of yummyness
Well , I was so excited to try this fudge,but, I was so disappointed in it, it tasted good, but I have to eat it with a spoon, it did not firm up as it should , I followed the instructions and boiled it as long as it said to, I won’t be making it again.
I’m so sorry to hear that Jane, I’ve made this fudge and many variations of it with no problems. Besides double checking all ingredients and measurements, without being in your kitchen with you, I’m not sure what help I can offer! I know how frustrating it is though to try and make something and it not work out right.
Thanks for your comment, I think fudge making, is just one of those things that not everyone is good at
I had the same problem with this fudge. The upper half with gelatine looks fine and firm, but the white one is not firm at all.
It also came out too sweet for my taste ( even after I used 1.5 cups of sugar, not 2).
But it looks very pretty and my kids don’t mind over-sweetness
Do you melt the chocolate?
No, when you add in the hot ingredients to your mixing bowl the chocolate will melt. I put it on my stand mixer and use the whisk attachement. Takes about 30seconds too a minute.
I made this for a baby shower a few days ago and received lots of compliments. It was my first time to make fudge, and I was pleased at the simplicity. It turned out beautifully and tasted delicious. Thank you!
Amy, I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!! thanks for the feedback
Did you use a bag of white chocolate chips or a bar of white chocolate? Not sure if it makes a difference or not.
I used white chocolate chips. I’m not sure if it matters either, but I used the morsels
Thank you I made this for a friends daughters first birthday party and cut it into heart shapes, everyone loved it!
Does this fudge come out soft and chewy or hard like proper fudge? I made another strawberry and cream on and it was very soft (still yummy though) but yours sounds amazing
They come out firm. I have other fudge recipes that are much softer, but this one is definitely firm (as fudge should be)!!!! ENJOY!
Excellent. I shall let you know how the recipe goes
So excited 
Well I made them and they didn’t come out hard like proper fudge. Do you think this could have been because I used a bar of chocolate instead of chips? Still tastes good though
Kayleigh, the white chocolate chips have something in them that helps them keep their shape, so it definitely could be why they came out different. Also, making sure you boiled it (at a rolling boil) for the full 5 minutes is important too!! Those are the only two things that can really make a difference in the texture!

I never boiled it for 5 mins stupidly so I remade it and it came out amazingly
thank you for your help. It tastes really nice. 
You are the queen of fudge
