If you are a fan of orange sherbet, you will definitely like this fudge. It is made up of white chocolate and a delicious orange flavour. Keep in mind to taste it before putting it to set. You can increase or decrease the orange flavour according to taste.
Ingredients
- Butter: 6 oz (1.5 sticks)
- Granulated sugar: 2 cups
- Heavy cream: ¾ cup
- White chocolate chips: 1 package (12 oz)
- Marshmallow cream (or fluff): 1 jar (7 oz)
- Orange extract: 1 tablespoon
- Orange (or a combination of red and yellow) food colouring
Instructions
- Start by preparing a 13x9 pan. Line it with foil and coat it with oil or cooking spray. Put a large saucepan with a heavy bottom over medium heat.
- Combine butter, sugar and cream in it. Keep stirring the mixture till the sugar is dissolved and the butter melts. Let the mixture come to a boil and put a candy thermometer in it when it is boiling.
- It will take around 4-5 minutes for the thermometer to reach 240 degrees.
- After the desired temperature is reached, take the pan off the heat. Quickly add white chocolate chips and marshmallow.
- Let the chocolate melt and stir the mixture till it is smooth. In a separate bowl, pour one third of the mixture.
- To the ⅔ remaining in the saucepan, add the orange food colouring and orange extract. Give it a stir so that the colour is even. Do the steps quickly so that the fudge doesn’t set in the process.
- Take the prepared pan and spread the orange fudge evenly in it. With the help of a spoon, drop the white fudge over it. With the help of a toothpick, create orange swirls. Let the fudge stay at room temperature for around 2 hours.
- It can also sit in the fridge for an hour. Cautiously take the fudge out of the pan by using the overhanging foil paper. With a sharp knife, cut it into bite size cubes. They can be stored in an airtight jar for up to a week.
- If they are kept in the fridge, take them out 30 minutes before serving so that they are at room temperature.
