Choosing the Right Ingredients for Strawberry Fudge

Best Base Ingredients for Strawberry Fudge

The beauty of this 2-ingredient strawberry fudge lies in its simplicity. For the perfect result, you’ll want to select high-quality ingredients that deliver the best flavor and texture.

Buying Tips

For the most vibrant strawberry flavor, choose strawberry frosting that’s branded as “premium” or “extra creamy.” The better the quality, the better your fudge will taste. White chocolate chips or melts should be real chocolate products (check that cocoa butter is listed in the ingredients) for the smoothest texture.

Substitutions

If you can’t find strawberry frosting, vanilla frosting with freeze-dried strawberry powder works beautifully. For a dairy-free version, look for dairy-free white chocolate alternatives made with coconut oil.

Ingredients & Prep for 2-Ingredient Strawberry Fudge

Fudge Essentials

• Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on sides for easy removal

• 3 cups (18 oz) white chocolate chips or melts

Optional Add-ins

• ½ teaspoon strawberry extract (for enhanced flavor)
• Pink food coloring (for more vibrant color)

Doneness Check for Strawberry Fudge

Your mixture should be smooth and uniform in color, with no white chocolate streaks. If the mixture seems too stiff, add 1 tablespoon of milk and stir. If too loose, add a few more white chocolate chips and stir until melted.

Setting Your Strawberry Fudge

1. Pour mixture into prepared pan and spread evenly with spatula
2. Add any toppings immediately while surface is still tacky
3. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely firm
4. Once set, lift from pan using parchment paper edges
5. Cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife

Pro Tips for Perfect Strawberry Fudge

Avoiding Common Fudge Mistakes

• Don’t overheat the white chocolate – it burns easily and becomes grainy
• Use room temperature frosting for smoother incorporation
• Clean your knife between cuts for professional-looking squares
• Store in the refrigerator to maintain firmness, especially in warm weather

Tool Recommendations

• Silicone spatula for easy, complete mixing
• Straight-edged knife for clean cuts
• Microwave-safe glass bowl for even heating

Storage & Serving

• Refrigerate fudge in airtight container for up to 2 weeks
• Freeze for up to 3 months (thaw in refrigerator overnight)

FAQs About Strawberry Fudge

Can I use other flavors of frosting?

Yes! This recipe works with any flavor frosting. Try chocolate, vanilla, or even cream cheese frosting for different variations.

Why did my fudge not set properly?

This typically happens if the white chocolate wasn’t melted properly or if the ratio of frosting to chocolate was off. Make sure to measure ingredients precisely.

Can I use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?

While possible, the strawberry flavor and color won’t be as pronounced. If using milk or dark chocolate, consider adding extra strawberry extract.

How do I know when the white chocolate is properly melted?

It should be smooth and pourable with no lumps. Be careful not to overheat as white chocolate seizes easily.

Is this recipe suitable for children to make?

With adult supervision for the microwave portion, this is a perfect recipe for children to help with!
