White Chocolate Cream Cheese Fudge

"Oh Fudddgggeeee"

Yep, I said it.  Youi know it is our famiies favorite holiday movie and my husbands dog is named after Ralph.  Yes it is true, his best little buddy is named Ralph (Ralphy)!

Can I tell you this recipe was a happy accident?  I was look at a recipe by 12 Tomatoes.  I didn't screenshot the ingredients and had closed the tab, so I took a guess at how much I needed of what.  WRONG.  I came up 2 bags of something short, one of this short, and blah blah blah.  So, I used what I had at home, and got this amazing fudge recipe.  I mean it is AHMAZING.  If you love cream cheese and/or white chocolate this one's for you!

You Will Need:

2- 14oz bags of white chocolate chips

1- 8oz brick of cream cheese

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup powdered/confectioners/icing sugar

1 TBSP half and half or heavy cream

Semi-sweet chocolate OPTIONAL

Beat cream cheese for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.  Melt white chocolate in 30 second increments in your microwave until all melted.   Add to your cream cheese mixture.  Mix to combine with your hand mixer. Add in vanilla, and powdered sugar.  Again, combine ingredients.  Add in half and half and mix until completely combined.

In a parchment paper lined 8x8 inch pan, pour the mixture.  It is a different texture and needs spread out.  You can wet the utensil you are using or use another piece of parchment on top and use your hands to smooth.  Let sit for at least 4 hours, overnight is best.

OPTIONAL.....Melt 1/3d cup of semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle on tiop.  Use 1 cup and spread a layer of chocolate on top.

4 Chip Fudge

 Who else has such a huge stash of random flavored "chips" you could make this like 10 times over?! HA!  ME!  

My dear friend and HUGE supporter of my YouTube and blog, Jenny has told me about her amaing fudge for at least a couple of years.  She has claimed it is the best fudge she and her family have ever eaten.  I thought this whole time she was the queen of this recipe, turns out Taste of Home is!  However, when my husband and I tried it, it is clear we don't care where it came from.  In my heart it came from Jenny aka SGM.  I am so glad I made it for you!

There is a video as well, so make sure to head over to my YouTube channel to watch it and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!

This flavor is SO unique.  The layers of flavor are dead on.  I am going to give you the direction just as she gave them to me.  I have only made cheater-cheater fudge.  I was nervous but here we go!

You Will Need:

3/4 cup butter

1, 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

3 TBSP milk

1 pkg (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

1 pjg (11.5 oz) milk chocolate chips

1 pkg (10 oz) peanut butter chips

1 cup butterscotch chips

1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup chopped walnuts

Line a 13X9 pan with foil and butter generously, set aside.

In a large heavy saucepan, melt butter over low heat.  Add in all of the chips,  Cook and stir Constantly until smooth.  The mixture will first appear separated but continue stirring until flully blended and glossy looking.  This will take about 10 minutes of continual stirring!  Remove from the heat, stir in the marshmallow creme and extracts until well blended.  Stir in the nuts and mix to combine.

Pour into prepared pan, smoothing the top and refrigerate until set.  

Yields about 4.5 lbs of fudge.  You better find someone to share with!

ENJOY this amazing recipe and thanks Jenny for your unwavering support and friendship!
