Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz (340g) white chocolate, chopped
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Topping (Optional)

  • ½ cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge once set.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 20-30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Incorporate the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar into the cream cheese. Beat the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
  5. Combine with Melted Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture. Stir continuously to create a harmonious, smooth fudge batter without streaks of chocolate or cream cheese.
  6. Set the Fudge: Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Add the Topping: Sprinkle the optional graham cracker crumbs evenly over the surface to mimic a cheesecake crust and add texture.
  8. Chill to Firm: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours, or until it becomes firm enough to slice cleanly.
  9. Slice and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve chilled for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • Do not overheat the white chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
  • Graham cracker topping is optional but adds a nice texture contrast mimicking cheesecake crust.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Allow fudge to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for easier slicing.
