Description

This Cream Cheese Red Velvet Fudge is a luscious, marbled treat combining the rich flavors of red velvet and creamy white chocolate with a tangy cream cheese layer. Perfect for special occasions or whenever you crave a decadent, homemade sweet treat.

Ingredients

Red Velvet Layer

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon red gel food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cocoa powder

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift out the fudge once it has set.
  2. Make the Red Velvet Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 cups white chocolate chips and 1 cup sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon red gel food coloring, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons cocoa powder to the melted mixture. Stir thoroughly to incorporate the ingredients evenly and achieve a vibrant red velvet color.
  4. Pour the red velvet mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top evenly using a spatula.
  5. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Then gently fold in 1/2 cup melted white chocolate chips until the mixture is homogeneous.
  6. Carefully layer the cream cheese mixture over the red velvet base in the baking dish.
  7. Layer and Swirl: Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the cream cheese layer with the red velvet base to create a marbled effect. This step is optional but adds a beautiful visual appeal.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until fully set and firm enough to cut.
  9. Slice and Serve: Lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 small squares and serve chilled or at room temperature for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the cream cheese layer.
  • For deeper red color, you can add a few more drops of gel food coloring.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best texture and flavor.
  • Fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving to enhance the creamy texture.
