For the Fudge
  • 2 cups White chocolate chips Use good quality chips for best results.
  • 1 can Sweetened condensed milk This is essential for the fudge texture.

Preparation
  1. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Cooking

  2. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and melted.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the orange zest, vanilla extract, pinch of salt, and orange extract if using.
  4. Pour about two-thirds of the mixture into the lined pan.
  5. Tint the remaining third with orange gel food coloring and spoon over the top.
  6. Use a knife to gently swirl the two mixtures together without overmixing.
Setting
