Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 box (3 oz) orange-flavored gelatin mix (Jell-O)
- 1 tsp orange extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Orange and white food coloring (optional, for a swirled effect)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan:
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside. - Melt the Base:
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat. - Divide and Flavor:
Divide the melted mixture into two bowls. To one bowl, add the orange gelatin mix and orange extract (if using), stirring until well combined. To the other bowl, add the vanilla extract. - Add Color (Optional):
If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring to the orange mixture and a few drops of white food coloring to the vanilla mixture for vibrant colors. - Layer and Swirl:
Pour half of the orange mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Follow with half of the vanilla mixture. Repeat with the remaining orange and vanilla mixtures. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the layers for a marbled effect. - Set the Fudge:
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours, or until firm. - Cut and Serve:
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For extra texture, sprinkle the top of the fudge with white chocolate shavings or orange zest before chilling.
- You can substitute the orange gelatin with other flavors for a fun twist.
