Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter and white chocolate in a double boiler.
- Pour the melted mixture over cream cheese and add nuts.
- Pour into a buttered pan and let cool.
- Cut into pieces when fully cooled and enjoy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, make sure the white chocolate is finely chopped before melting. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can substitute the nuts with dried fruits or leave them out entirely. To enhance flavors, consider adding a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract. Make sure to use cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing, similar to the method used in Granny'S Almost Good For You Cookies.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into bite-sized pieces and serve on a decorative platter for parties or gatherings. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea, making it a delightful afternoon treat. Consider serving it alongside Robbie'S Good Pound Cake for a varied dessert spread. For a festive touch, sprinkle some sea salt or edible gold dust on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store the white fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to two weeks. To reheat, place the fudge in a microwave-safe dish and warm it in short intervals, stirring until it softens slightly. This will make it easier to cut and serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute dark chocolate for white chocolate, but keep in mind that the flavor and sweetness will change. Dark chocolate will provide a richer taste, and you might want to adjust the sugar content accordingly if you're seeking a similar sweetness to the original recipe.
What type of nuts work best in this fudge?
Almonds, walnuts, or pecans are great choices for this white fudge. Toasting the nuts beforehand will enhance their flavor. If you have nut allergies or want a different texture, consider using crispy rice cereal for crunch instead.
How do I know when the fudge is fully cooled?
The fudge is fully cooled when it has set firmly and is no longer warm to the touch. Depending on your environment, this can take about 2-3 hours at room temperature. If you're in a hurry, placing it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes can help speed up the cooling process.
