This rich and creamy Strawberry Fudge combines decadent white chocolate and marshmallow cream with a burst of strawberry flavor and vibrant red coloring. Perfectly swirled for a beautiful presentation, this fudge sets overnight to deliver smooth, melt-in-your-mouth squares that delight with every bite.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes plus overnight setting
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Flavor and Color

  • 2 teaspoons strawberry extract
  • 1 teaspoon red gel food coloring

Main Fudge Base

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup half and half
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 7 ounces marshmallow cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare flavor mixture: In a small bowl, combine the red gel food coloring and strawberry extract, whisking until fully blended to create a bright, flavorful strawberry mixture.
  2. Line the pan: Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set, then set aside.
  3. Heat fudge base: In a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, softened butter, and half and half. Stir occasionally until the mixture reaches a boil.
  4. Cook the mixture: Maintain a consistent boil, stirring constantly with a spatula, and continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes to properly melt and combine the ingredients.
  5. Add white chocolate chips: Remove the saucepan from heat, add the white chocolate chips, cover, and allow to sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to soften the chocolate.
  6. Blend fudge smooth: Whisk the mixture until smooth, then incorporate the marshmallow cream and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined and creamy. Pour half of this white fudge into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Mix strawberry flavor: Stir the red gel and strawberry extract mixture into the remaining half of the fudge in the saucepan, coloring and flavoring it vibrantly.
  8. Create swirl effect: Drop dollops of the strawberry fudge over the white fudge in the baking dish. Use a butterknife to gently swirl the two fudge mixtures together for a marbled appearance.
  9. Set the fudge: Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight to fully set before cutting into 1-inch squares for serving.

Notes

  • Be sure to whisk the red gel and strawberry extract well to avoid clumps in the colored fudge.
  • Use parchment paper to make removing the fudge easier and prevent sticking.
  • Stir consistently while boiling the sugar mixture to avoid burning.
  • Let the fudge rest and melt the chocolate covered to ensure a smooth texture.
  • The swirl technique adds a beautiful presentation but can be adjusted or skipped if desired.
  • Fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
