Description

Galaxy Swirl Cotton Candy Fudge is a whimsical and colorful treat that combines creamy white chocolate with the nostalgic flavors of cotton candy and vanilla. This easy-to-make fudge features vibrant pink, blue, and purple swirls, creating a mesmerizing galaxy effect perfect for parties or fun desserts. Garnished with optional edible glitter or sprinkles, this fudge delights both the eyes and palate with its sweet, smooth texture and playful appearance.

Ingredients

Fudge Base

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon cotton candy extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coloring and Garnish

  • Food coloring (pink, blue, and purple)
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the fudge later.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and completely melted.
  3. Add Flavors: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cotton candy extract and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Divide Mixture: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into three separate bowls.
  5. Color the Fudge: Add a few drops of pink food coloring to one bowl, blue to the second, and purple to the third. Stir each until the colors are fully mixed in.
  6. Layer and Swirl: Spoon the differently colored fudge mixtures into the baking dish in alternating layers. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors together, creating a galaxy-like pattern.
  7. Set the Fudge: Allow the fudge to set at room temperature for 2-3 hours or refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.
  8. Cut and Remove: Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 16 squares.
  9. Garnish (Optional): Decorate with sprinkles or edible glitter for an extra sparkle effect.
  10. Serve: Enjoy the colorful, creamy cotton candy-flavored fudge as a delightful treat.

Notes

  • Make sure to stir constantly during melting to prevent the chocolate from burning or seizing.
  • Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without thinning the fudge.
  • The cotton candy extract gives a unique flavor but can be adjusted or omitted based on taste preferences.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerated for longer freshness.
  • Allow fudge to come to room temperature before serving if refrigerated to enhance texture and flavor.
