Today’s fudge recipe combines all the flavors of an ice cold class of pink lemonade with the soft, sweet creaminess of homemade Vanilla Fudge.
Ingredient Notes
- Marshmallow Creme. Also called “fluff”, this ingredient helps give the fudge a soft melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- Kool-Aid Pink Lemonade Mix. You will need one packet (0.23 ounches) of lemonade mix for this recipe.
- White Chocolate. You’ll need white chocolate chips AND a bag of white chocolate melting wafers. The melting wafers are used to drizzle over the fudge, as we find they do a better job than the morsels.
Easy Instructions
- First, place white chocolate morsels and marshmallow fluff in a mixing bowl.
- Now, combine butter, sugar, heavy cream and salt in a sauce pan. Boil and stir constantly for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the packet of pink lemonade mix.
- Pour the hot butter and cream mixture over the white chocolate and fluff. Mix with electric beaters or a stand mixer until smooth and combined.
- Next, pour the fudge mixture into a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Let the fudge set for 3 hours.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over the fudge. Sprinkle with sparkling sugar. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
- Store this fudge in an airtight container the refrigerator for 1 -2 weeks.
- Add the melted butter mixture to the bowl with the chocolate and marshmallow cream right away. The warm cream and butter help melt the chocolate to give the fudge a smooth, velvety consistency.
- For best freshness, store the fudge in a block. Cut into pieces just before serving.
