Servings: 64 pieces
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 package white chocolate morsels 11 ounce
- 1 package Instant coconut cream JELL-O pudding mix 3 ounce box
- 1 jar marshmallow fluff 7 ounce jar
- 2 cups Kraft caramel bits
- 1 teaspoon heavy cream
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 1 cup toasted coconut
Instructions
- Toast the coconut. Use my guide on how to toast coconut for your favorite way (I use a skillet for fast toasting). I use sweetened coconut flakes. Set aside to cool.
- Melt caramel bits with 1 teaspoon heavy cream in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, heat butter, cream, sugar, and salt on medium high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring contantly. When it begins to boil, set timer for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat. Pour into a mixing bowl and using a stand mixer whisk together the pudding mix, white chocolate chips, and marshmallow fluff until combined (and chocolate is smooth).
- Immediately pour into a parchment paper lined 13x9 baking dish.
- Pour caramel over top of fudge (it will be thick). Use a knife to spread and swirl it into the fudge (don't worry if the top of the fudge looks bumpy).
- Allow fudge to set 4 hours at room temperature (or overnight), or speed set in the refrigerator.
- Melt semi-sweet morsels. Spread over set fudge and sprinkle generously with toasted coconut. Cut into bites and enjoy.
Notes
- The caramel will be THICK when melted. This might make the top of the fudge look lumpy at first. Don’t worry–it’ll settle to a smoother finish as it chills.
- Use a stand mixer or electric beaters to thoroughly incorporate the fudge ingredients, making everything smooth and combined.
- For a straight up caramel fudge, leave off the toasted coconut and chocolate.
- Store this fudge at room temperature in an airtight container to keep it fresh and enjoy within 2 weeks. Freeze fudge for up to 3 months in an airtight freezer safe container.
