Ingredients

Scale

Red Velvet Layer

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon red gel food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons cocoa powder

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This will make it much easier to lift the fudge out of the pan once it has set.
  2. Make the Red Velvet Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 3 cups of white chocolate chips and 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon red gel food coloring, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 teaspoons cocoa powder until the color and flavor are fully incorporated.
  3. Pour Red Velvet Mixture: Pour the red velvet chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  4. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the softened 8 oz cream cheese until smooth. Add 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the melted 1/2 cup white chocolate chips. Mix thoroughly until fully combined and creamy.
  5. Layer and Swirl: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the red velvet layer in the baking dish. Optionally, use a knife or toothpick to swirl the two layers gently for a marbled red velvet effect.
  6. Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let the fudge set for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  7. Slice and Serve: Using the parchment overhang, lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve. Store any leftovers refrigerated.

Notes

  • Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Use gel food coloring to avoid thinning the fudge mixture.
  • For an extra festive touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or white chocolate shavings on top before chilling.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • To make the fudge last longer, it can be frozen for up to 2 months.
