Why You’ll Love This White Chocolate Raspberry Christmas Fudge

This fudge is a favorite because it checks all the boxes: quick, easy, festive, and irresistibly delicious. The creamy texture is velvety without being overly rich, and the raspberry swirl adds a fruity zing that cuts through the sweetness. Plus, it holds up well in the fridge, making it perfect for preparing ahead of time during the busy holiday season.

What Kind of White Chocolate Should I Use?

For the best texture and flavor, use high-quality white chocolate bars instead of chips. Chips are often made with stabilizers that prevent them from melting smoothly. Look for bars labeled “baking” or “premium white chocolate” with cocoa butter listed as one of the first ingredients. Brands like Ghirardelli or Lindt work beautifully.

Ingredients for the Delightful White Chocolate Raspberry Christmas Fudge

The ingredients in this fudge are few, but each one plays a key role in creating that signature creamy, fruity bite. You don’t need anything fancy, but quality makes a difference here.

• White Chocolate Baking Bars
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Unsalted Butter
• Vanilla Extract
• Raspberry Jam or Preserves

How To Make the Delightful White Chocolate Raspberry Christmas Fudge

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang so the fudge is easy to lift out once set.

Step 2: Melt the Fudge Base

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine chopped white chocolate baking bars, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

Step 3: Add Flavor

Stir in the vanilla extract for added depth and richness.

Step 4: Swirl the Raspberry

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Drop small spoonfuls of raspberry jam across the surface, then use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it into the fudge.

Step 5: Chill and Set

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours, or until completely firm. Once set, lift it from the pan and cut into squares.

How to Serve and Store This Fudge Treat

This fudge makes 25 to 36 small squares, depending on how you slice it. It’s rich enough that even a small piece satisfies. Serve it on holiday platters, wrap pieces in parchment for edible gifts, or add a few squares to a cookie tin for variety.

Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you’re gifting, keep it chilled until it’s time to share.
