Ingredients

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

2¼ cups white chocolate chips

½ cup chopped dried cranberries

½ cup chopped unsalted pistachios

1 teaspoon unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.

Melt chocolate: Add white chocolate chips to a medium heat-safe mixing bowl. Pour sweetened condensed milk over the top.

Microwave and stir: Heat for 45 seconds, stir, then microwave another 15 seconds. Stir again until smooth and creamy.

Add mix-ins: Fold in chopped cranberries and pistachios until evenly distributed.

Spread and smooth: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Flatten the top: Lightly butter a piece of wax paper and use it to smooth the top of the fudge. Remove the wax paper.

Chill: Cover tightly and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm.

Cut and serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into 1½-inch squares.

Notes

Double it: This recipe easily doubles for larger batches — perfect for sharing or gifting.

Pro tip: Score the fudge before chilling to make slicing easier later.

Texture tip: The fudge is firm yet slightly chewy; longer chilling creates the best consistency.

Presentation: Garnish with extra cranberries or pistachios on top for a festive touch.

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
