Description

This White Chocolate Caramel Pecan Fudge is a decadent, creamy treat perfect for dessert or gifting during the holidays. Made with smooth white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, toasted pecans, and rich caramel sauce, this fudge combines sweet and nutty flavors with a luscious texture. The fudge is made on the stovetop and chilled until firm, creating a no-bake gourmet delight that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chopped pecans (toasted if desired)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
  2. Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, taking care to avoid burning.
  3. Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor profile of the fudge.
  4. Incorporate Pecans and Caramel: Fold in the chopped pecans gently. Then, swirl in the caramel sauce carefully, making sure not to overmix so you achieve a marbled caramel effect.
  5. Pour and Decorate: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle additional caramel sauce on top and use a knife to create a marbled swirl pattern for a decorative finish.
  6. Chill Until Firm: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours until the fudge is fully set and firm to the touch.
  7. Cut and Serve: Once chilled, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper. Cut into approximately 25 squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Toasting the pecans before adding imparts a deeper, nuttier flavor but is completely optional.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness and texture.
  • For a saltier contrast, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the fudge just before chilling.
