Ingredients
Instructions
-
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper and set aside.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the peppermint extract and a pinch of salt. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
-
Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the chopped peppermint candies into the fudge mixture, reserving the remaining candies for topping.
-
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top to create an even layer.
-
Sprinkle the remaining chopped peppermint candies over the top of the fudge, gently pressing them down with your fingertips to ensure they stick.
-
Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is set firm.
-
Once the fudge is fully set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board. Peel away the parchment paper and cut the fudge into small squares using a sharp knife.
-
Serve the Peppermint Cream Fudge on a festive platter or package it in a decorative tin for gifting. Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
