Ingredients

  • 450g white chocolate
  • 397g Carnation condensed milk
  • Just a few drops natural raspberry extract (try online for this ingredient)
  • Red or pink food colouring
  • 1 tbsp (5g) freeze dried raspberries
  • You will also need: 20cm square tin, baking parchment

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Break or chop the white chocolate into small chunks and place in a non-stick saucepan with the condensed milk. Melt gently over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and silky. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in 10-20 second bursts, stirring frequently.
  2. Step 2: Add a few drops of raspberry extract into the mixture and mix well. Divide the mixture into two bowls and colour one bowl red or pink with the food colouring.
  3. Step 3: Line the 20cm square tin with baking parchment, overlapping the sides to help lift the fudge out once set.
  4. Step 4: Spoon dollops of the two differently coloured fudge mixtures alternately into the tin. Use a knife to swirl them together for a marbled effect.
  5. Step 5: Press the freeze dried raspberries evenly into the top of the fudge so they stick.
  6. Step 6: Chill the fudge in the fridge for 1-2 hours or until completely set. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy.

Tips & Variations

  • For an extra texture, gently fold crushed freeze dried raspberries into the fudge mixture before setting.
  • If natural raspberry extract is hard to find, you can use raspberry jam by folding it lightly into one half of the fudge before swirling.
  • Try using different food colouring shades to create a rainbow swirl effect for a fun twist.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. This fudge is not suitable for freezing as it can affect the texture.

How to Serve

The image shows several square bars stacked on a clean white plate, each bar having two clear layers. The bottom layer is thick, creamy white, smooth in texture, and solid. The top layer is thinner and covered with small, bright red crumbly pieces that add a rough texture and contrast sharply with the smooth white base. The bars look soft and slightly thick, arranged in a small pile. The background is a white marbled surface with a soft pink cloth visible in the back, giving a cozy feel.

FAQs

Can I use other types of chocolate for this fudge?

White chocolate is preferred for this recipe because it complements the raspberry flavor and allows the pink colour to show clearly. Using milk or dark chocolate will change the taste and appearance significantly.

What if I don’t have freeze dried raspberries?

You can substitute with finely chopped fresh raspberries on top, but be aware they may release moisture and soften the fudge surface. Freeze dried raspberries add a nice crunch and keep the texture firmer.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick saucepan to avoid sticking and burning when melting chocolate.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize or burn quickly.
  • If natural raspberry extract is unavailable, raspberry puree can be used but may alter texture.
  • Freeze-dried raspberries add both crunch and visual appeal; avoid substituting with fresh raspberries as they may release moisture and affect setting.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • Allow the fudge to come to room temperature briefly before serving for softer texture if preferred.
