Ingredients
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt the white confectioners coating with the sweetened condensed milk and salt.
- Remove from heat; stir in chopped nuts and vanilla extract.
- Spread evenly into a wax paper-lined 8 or 9-inch square pan.
- Chill for 2 hours or until firm.
- Turn the fudge onto a cutting board; peel off the paper and cut into squares.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier fudge, consider using a higher quality white chocolate. If you prefer a different texture, try substituting the nuts with crushed cookies or dried fruit. Always melt the confectioners coating slowly to prevent burning. If you want to add flavor, consider incorporating a touch of almond extract in addition to the vanilla.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares for a delightful treat that pairs beautifully with Yvonne'S Strawberry Daiquiri. This creamy white fudge makes an excellent addition to dessert platters or holiday gift baskets. Serve alongside coffee, tea, or as a sweet ending to a meal with American recipes like Angel Food Creamed Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store the fudge tightly covered at room temperature for up to two weeks. If you live in a very warm climate, refrigerate it to prevent melting. For longer storage, you can freeze the fudge in an airtight container for up to three months. Simply let it thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular chocolate instead of white confectioners coating?
While you can use regular chocolate, it will change the texture and flavor of the fudge. White confectioners coating is designed to melt smoothly and set well, which is key for this recipe. If you want to experiment, consider using a 50/50 blend of white and milk chocolate.
How can I make this fudge dairy-free?
To make this fudge dairy-free, look for dairy-free white chocolate alternatives and use a non-dairy sweetened condensed milk. Many brands now offer these products, which can provide a similar texture and sweetness without dairy. Always check labels to ensure they meet your dietary needs.
What can I do if my fudge doesn't set properly?
If your fudge doesn't set properly, it may be due to insufficient cooling or incorrect ingredient ratios. Try refrigerating it longer, or you can re-melt the fudge gently and add a bit more confectioners coating to help it firm up. Once combined, spread it into the pan again and chill.
