Classic creamy sweet fudge, with a white chocolate twist – easier than you think to make, utterly irresistible when eating!
White chocolate fudge recipe
Last week I reposted my recipe for my Oreo cookies & cream fudge, and it went down and absolute storm again with so many of you making it this weekend! Thank you!
Because of this, I decided I couldn’t wait any longer to add my new recipe to my collection of fudge recipes – this delicious white chocolate fudge!! I have made many a fudge recipe in my time, some ending up grainy, some not setting at all, and some being downright strange – but this one is creamy, delicious, the perfect soft:hard ratio, and is utterly scrumptious. HELLO HEAVEN!
More white chocolate recipes
I know you lot like white chocolate, as you all seem to love my white chocolate recipes, and I have to agree – even though white chocolate isn’t technically chocolate when you look into it (shocking, I know)!
It can be so creamy and lovely that it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. The mix of the vanilla bean extract and white chocolate in this fudge is perfection.
Chocolate
I aaaalways use Callebaut in my baking as it is of such high quality – and it ends up being the same price as cheap chocolate chips from the supermarket – callebaut chocolate is heaven!
It makes every recipe you use them for absolutely FULL of the chocolatey sweet flavour, and using that in this fudge is ideal. If you wanted a milk/dark chocolate based fudge, I recommend looking at my Crunchie or even my Baileys fudge!
Tips and tricks
I realise fudge can be scary, as I’ve said before, but it is so worth the scary moments, and its so worth investing in a sugar thermometer (which are relatively inexpensive these days!!).
So you don’t have to worry, you’ll want to make fudge again and again once you’ve made it the first time – so I hope you like this recipe! Let me know how you get on! ENJOY!
White Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients
- 250 g clotted cream/double cream
- 300 g caster sugar
- 50 g liquid glucose
- 1 tsp vanilla bean extract
- 250 g white chocolate (chopped)
- 50 g unsalted butter
Instructions
- Line a 20cm square pan with parchment paper and leave to the side.
- In a large pan, add the double/clotted cream, caster sugar, liquid glucose and vanilla bean extract.
- Heat on a low-medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally during this process so everything is mixed well - this could take a couple of minutes.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up to a medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
- Without stiring the mixture, heat the mixture on the rolling boil until it reaches 113ºC.
- Test this with a sugar thermometer, or use the soft ball method*. Be careful not to heat it too high, or be too impatient with it, because you risk the mixture over spilling and doing it to quickly can burn the mixture!
- Once you have reached 113ºC, remove the pan from the heat, and beat in the chopped white chocolate and unsalted butter until they're melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Continue to beat for a couple of minutes so it thickens slightly!
- Pour into the prepared tin and leave to set for 6 hours, or overnight.
- Chop into squares, (I usually do 1 inch squares) and enjoy!
Notes
- If you don’t have a sugar thermometer, you can see if the fudge is ready by dropping a little into a cup of cold water. If a soft squeezable piece of fudge is formed, it is ready. But BE CAREFUL – it is EXTREMELY hot!
- This treat will last 2-3weeks in an airtight container at room temperature, or you can freeze it for up to 3 months!
- I use this sugar thermometer
- I use this white chocolate
ENJOY!

I made your peppermint fudge, oh my….it was amazing, easy peasy and no lemon to squeeze in sight, but I LOVED it, can’t wait to try this ❤️
Hi Jane, I’ve just made this with Terry’s Chocolate Orange instead (wanted one that resident need refrigerating!) and it is delicious! Can I freeze these for Christmas presents?
Yes you absolutely can! Hope they go down a treat! x
Hi Jane, is there something else you can use instead of the liquid glucose. Unable to find any at the moment.
Can I use milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Hey, yes sure!xx
How do you get it into the cold water to test it? Could you use a soup-ladle-like thing, but not fill it?
Thanks again for all your amazing recipes and ideas😘
Amy!
Yes you can use some sort of spoon!! x
Do you think I could do this with condensed milk in the microwave like some of your other recipes? Would it need icing sugar done in that way?
I would still recommend following the recipe even if done in the microwave.
I’m catching up with your blog and these would be perfect for Christmas gifting. Mind you, I always say to myself that I’ll make gifts and then never do…
Hahah I am the same, I tend to better at making these for birthdays, but christmas is so busy! Good thing is, its such a big batch, you can make several gifts in one 😉
These look incredible and you make it sound so simple. I have lost many a pan to an impatient chef (ME!) overboiling and burning the mix. These do look delicious though. I am almost tempted to try it again..
Hahah yes, its so tempting to hurry it along but it goes so so wrong 😛 and yes please do try it – let me know how you get on! 🙂 and thank you!
Wow they look amazing! 🙂
Thank you so much! 🙂
Sounds delicious Jane!
Thank you so much! 🙂

Thank you Anita! ❤️
