Directions
-
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly until smooth. The key here is to be patient and allow the chocolate to melt gently; this will aid in achieving a tremendous creamy consistency.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the orange extract and, if desired, a few drops of orange food coloring until well combined. This step is vital as it infuses the fudge with that signature orange flavor, transforming it into a tremendous treat that celebrates the essence of a creamsicle.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This adds a lightness to the fudge that beautifully balances the richness of the chocolate mixture.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate mixture until fully combined. Do this with care to retain the airiness of the whipped cream, ensuring a delightful texture that melts in your mouth.
-
Stir in the orange zest if youβre using it. This addition rounds out the fresh orange flavor, offering bursts of zestiness in every bite.
-
Pour the mixture into a lined 8×8 inch baking dish and smooth the top. Make sure to spread it evenly, as this helps it set perfectly.
-
Refrigerate for about 2-4 hours until set. This is a great time to relax or perhaps indulge in another little culinary adventure.
-
Once set, cut into squares and enjoy! Each piece brings back the flavors of summer with a tremendous creaminess and citrus kick.
