A quick and easy homemade strawberry fudge with a creamy texture and natural strawberry flavor, perfect for gifting or enjoying as a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup strawberry puree (fresh or thawed frozen, blended smooth and strained)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A few drops pink food coloring (optional)
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed (optional but recommended)
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting some hang over the edges for easy fudge removal. Set aside.
  2. Blend 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen strawberries until smooth. Strain to remove seeds if desired. Measure out 1/2 cup for the recipe.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, softened butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly with a spatula to prevent burning until smooth and glossy.
  4. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Add pink food coloring if desired and mix until fully combined and silky.
  5. Gently fold in crushed freeze-dried strawberries for texture and extra flavor.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  7. Refrigerate the fudge uncovered for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to cut cleanly.
  8. Use the parchment edges to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife. Keep refrigerated until serving.

Notes

Melt chocolate and butter on low heat to avoid scorching. Puree strawberries until silky smooth and strain seeds for best texture. Use a warm knife for clean cuts. Chill fudge thoroughly before slicing. For dairy-free, substitute coconut condensed milk and dairy-free white chocolate chips. Freeze-dried strawberries add crunch and intensified flavor.
