Escape to summer no matter the weather with this delicious Orange Creamsicle Fudge. This simple orange fudge recipe is easy to make with just a few ingredients. The flavor will transport your taste buds to a tropical place.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (12 oz.)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 – 16 ounce can vanilla frosting
- 1 ½ teaspoons orange extract
- orange gel food coloring
- 12 orange slice gummy candies
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 pan with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the white chips and butter in a large pan and heat over low heat until melted. (It will look more like a creamy paste.)
- Peel off the metal liner on the canned frosting. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Pour into the melted white chocolate mixture. Stir until melted and creamy. Divide the mixture evenly into two bowls.
- Stir the orange extract into one bowl of fudge. Use a toothpick to add a little bit of orange gel food coloring at a time to the same bowl. Stir it in and look at your color. Add more if you want it darker. Make sure to use a new toothpick each time if you continue to add color.
- Drop spoonfuls of both fudge mixtures randomly into the prepared pan. Swirl with a knife every so often, then continue spooning more of each color into the pan.
- Use the knife to swirl the top a little bit. Be careful not to over swirl, or you will lose the white color.
- Let the fudge cool for 10 minutes. Cut the gummy orange slices into 3 pieces and press them into the top of the fudge.
- Let the fudge completely cool and set up before cutting into 36 pieces.
Notes
- Line a pan with foil or parchment paper, so you can lift the orange swirl fudge out easily once it is set.
- Heat the white chocolate chips and butter over a very low heat to avoid scorching or burning the chocolate.
- Use a toothpick to add the orange gel coloring a little bit at time. Gel colors are very concentrated, so you will only need a little bit.
- Let the creamsicle fudge completely cool before cutting it into squares.
