White Chocolate Fudge Recipe
July 23, 2008 by Kayla · Leave a Comment
One of my favorite desserts is one which is many times overlooked—the ever beloved fudge. Chocolate fudge is a dense, yet delicious dessert. Originally it was produced with dark or milk chocolate. This recipe is a tantalizing twist on classic chocolate fudge; a white chocolate fudge recipe.
Along with my other fudge recipe, a milk chocolate fudge recipe, this fudge is extremely heart healthy. Nuts like almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts or pecans are great ways to keep your heart healthy.
While, yes, fudge is typically a splurge, who’s to say that it can’t be good for you too? No one! It doesn’t usually take much fudge to satisfy a sweet tooth, so this white chocolate fudge recipe is a great dessert for pretty much any occasion. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 12 ounces white chocolate, melted
- 1 1/2 cup pecans (or walnuts or macadamia nuts)
Directions:
1) Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large mixing bowl at medium speed with electric mixer until well blended.
2) Gradually add chocolate; mix well. Stir in nuts. Spread in greased 8 inch square pan. Chill several hours. NOTE: you can also use 3/4 cup nuts and 3/4 cup dried apricots or other dried fruit.
Some of my favorite things to add into this delicious white chocolate fudge recipe include, mini chocolate chips, M&Ms, a variety of nuts, or dried fruit. For holidays, you can try swirling in some food coloring, like red and green for Christmas or blue for Hanukah! This white chocolate fudge recipe is a great way to make any occasion a special one so have fun with it!

What an idea! I love those yummy ice cream drumsticks from the Ice Cream Man, but who would have ever guessed that they could be made at home!

You hear the ice cream truck roll into your neighborhood and you frantically scramble to gather some change.
Fumbling it between your fingers, you rocket outside towards the ice cream man just as he’s returning the last bit of change to his final customer. You made it… this time.
