Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups white chocolate chips (Use dairy-free for a vegan option)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 cup cotton candy flavoring syrup (Can substitute with cotton candy extract)

Coloring and Decoration

  • Blue gel food coloring, to taste
  • Pink gel food coloring, to taste
  • Edible glitter or stars (Optional for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. Melting the Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and fully melted, careful not to overheat.
  3. Mix Flavoring: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and cotton candy flavoring syrup until fully incorporated.
  4. Divide and Color: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into two separate bowls. Add blue gel food coloring to one portion and pink gel food coloring to the other, stirring each until the color is uniformly blended.
  5. Create Galaxy Swirl: Pour both colored mixtures alternately into the prepared baking dish. Use a skewer or knife to gently swirl the mixtures together creating a galaxy or marbled effect.
  6. Decorate: Sprinkle edible glitter or stars on top as desired to enhance the cosmic look.
  7. Set the Fudge: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2-3 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.
  8. Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free white chocolate chips and vegan sweetened condensed milk alternatives.
  • Use gel food coloring for brighter, more vibrant colors without altering the fudge consistency.
  • Swirling the colors too much will blend them and reduce the galaxy effect, so swirl gently.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Edible glitter and stars are optional but add a magical touch perfect for celebrations.
