Description

Creamy, rich, and bursting with the tangy flavor of cheesecake, this no-bake fudge is the ultimate treat for dessert lovers. Perfect for holidays, parties, or just because you deserve it!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 4 cups (500g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 oz (340g) white chocolate, melted
  • 1/2 cup (50g) graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuit crumbs)
  • Optional toppings: crushed graham crackers, chocolate drizzle, or fruit preserves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan:
    • Line an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Mix the Cream Cheese:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Sugar and Vanilla:
    • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Incorporate the White Chocolate:
    • Slowly pour the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, stirring constantly until fully combined.
  5. Assemble the Fudge:
    • Pour half of the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
    • Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over this layer.
    • Pour the remaining fudge mixture on top and smooth it again.
  6. Chill:
    • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to slice.
  7. Slice and Serve:
    • Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into small squares and garnish with additional graham cracker crumbs, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or a dollop of fruit preserves if desired.

 



Notes

  • For a fruity twist, swirl raspberry or strawberry preserves into the top layer before chilling.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to one month.
