The image shows two square dessert pieces stacked on a white marbled surface, each having two distinct layers: a thick bottom layer colored pink with a smooth texture, and a top layer that is creamy off-white with a soft, slightly uneven finish. The top layer has light pink swirls running through it and is decorated with small red heart-shaped sprinkles scattered on the surface and around the squares. The top piece has a bite taken out of it, revealing the smooth and dense texture of both layers inside. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups white chocolate chips (divided)
14 ounces canned sweetened condensed milk (divided)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
Pink or red food coloring
Pink or red gel icing
1 tablespoon heart-shaped sprinkles

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare an 8×8 square pan by lining it with parchment paper or foil sprayed with non-stick spray.
Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine half of the white chocolate chips, half of the sweetened condensed milk, and half of the butter.
Step 3: Microwave the mixture in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. This should take less than 2 minutes. Avoid overcooking.
Step 4: Stir in 8 drops of pink or red food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored and smooth.
Step 5: Pour the colored fudge into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spoon or offset spatula. Place it in the freezer while preparing the next layer.
Step 6: In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the remaining white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Step 7: Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
Step 8: Pour the white fudge over the pink layer and gently smooth the top.
Step 9: Dab a few drops of pink or red gel icing evenly on top. Use a toothpick to swirl the icing, creating pretty patterns.
Step 10: Sprinkle heart-shaped sprinkles evenly over the top.
Step 11: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
Step 12: Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment or foil liner. Slice into 16 pieces and serve.

Tips & Variations

Use a gentle hand when swirling the gel icing to create elegant patterns without mixing the colors too much.
For a different flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the fudge mixture before melting.
Swap heart-shaped sprinkles for crushed candy canes during the holidays for a festive twist.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze the fudge wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and placed in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

How to Serve

Each fudge piece has two layers: the bottom layer is bright pink, smooth and firm, while the top layer is creamy white with soft pink swirls blending lightly into it. Small red and pink heart-shaped sprinkles are scattered on top of the white layer and some are on the plate as well. The fudge squares are neatly arranged in a small pile, showing their clean, sharp edges and smooth texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular food coloring instead of gel icing?

Yes, regular food coloring works well for coloring the fudge base. However, gel icing is recommended for the top swirls because it holds its shape better and creates more vibrant designs.

Is it necessary to freeze or refrigerate the fudge to set it?

Refrigeration is essential to give the fudge time to firm up properly. Freezing the first layer speeds up the process for layering, but final setting should be done in the refrigerator.
