Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream. Stir over medium heat until fully melted and mixed.
  3. Continue cooking on medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a gentle boil and bubbles for about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until smooth.
  5. Pour the fudge into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
  6. Transfer to the refrigerator and let it fully set for 1-1.5 hours.
  7. Lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut into desired pieces.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months. For a chocolate variation, add cocoa powder or use almond extract for a twist.
