Description
Orange Creamsicle Fudge is a creamy, smooth homemade candy that combines sweet white chocolate with bright orange flavor. This easy no bake recipe creates beautiful orange and white swirls and requires only a few simple ingredients. Perfect for holidays, parties, dessert trays, or homemade gifts.
Ingredients
32 ounces white chocolate baking bars, chopped
28 ounces sweetened condensed milk (two 14 ounce cans)
8 tablespoons butter, cut into pats
4 teaspoons orange extract
6 drops orange gel food coloring, or yellow and red gel food coloring
Nonstick cooking spray
Aluminum foil for lining the pan
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch pan with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the white chocolate bars, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a medium microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the orange extract and adjust to taste if needed.
- Remove about 2 cups of the fudge mixture into a separate bowl. This portion will remain white.
- Add orange gel food coloring to the remaining mixture and stir until the desired orange color is reached.
- Pour the orange fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of the white fudge randomly over the orange layer.
- Use a knife or wooden skewer to gently swirl the colors together.
- Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles. Pop any large bubbles with a toothpick if needed.
- Refrigerate uncovered for 4 to 5 hours until the fudge is fully set.
- Lift the fudge from the pan using the foil, peel away the foil, and cut into squares before serving.
Notes
Use high quality white chocolate baking bars for the smoothest texture.
Gel food coloring provides brighter color without thinning the fudge.
Do not over swirl the fudge to maintain a clear marbled pattern.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for the best texture.
