Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon bubblegum flavoring or extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pink and blue food coloring (or any colors you prefer)
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (for a cloud-like texture)
How to Make Bubblegum Cloud Fudge
- Prepare the pan:
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the fudge from sticking. - Melt the chocolate:
In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. - Add flavoring:
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the bubblegum flavoring or extract and vanilla extract. The bubblegum flavor will give the fudge its signature sweet taste, so be sure to use enough for a strong flavor. - Incorporate marshmallows:
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows to give the fudge a fluffy, cloud-like texture. The marshmallows will add lightness and help create the “cloud” effect. - Color the fudge:
Divide the fudge mixture into two separate bowls. In one bowl, add a few drops of pink food coloring, and in the other, add blue food coloring. Stir each mixture to combine the color, making sure to leave the two colors separate. - Layer and swirl:
Spoon the pink and blue fudge mixtures into the prepared pan, alternating spoonfuls of each color. Once all the fudge is in the pan, use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the colors together, creating a marbled effect. - Chill the fudge:
Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set. - Cut and serve:
Once the fudge is fully set, remove it from the refrigerator and lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut the fudge into small squares and enjoy your Bubblegum Cloud Fudge!
Tips
- Store in an airtight container: Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, keep it in the fridge.
- Custom colors: You can use any color of food coloring you like, and even create multi-colored layers or ombré effects for a more dramatic look.
- Add mix-ins: For extra texture, you can add in mini chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, or sprinkles.
Substitutions and Variations
- Vegan version: Use dairy-free white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed coconut milk for a vegan version of this fudge.
- Flavor variations: If you’re not a fan of bubblegum flavor, you can swap it out for other fun flavors like cotton candy, strawberry, or vanilla.
- Different mix-ins: Try adding colorful candy pieces, or even small pieces of fruit, to the fudge to make it more exciting.
Make a Healthier Version
- Sugar-free option: Use sugar-free white chocolate chips and a sugar substitute to reduce the sugar content of this treat.
