Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce can white frosting
- 10 ounces white chocolate chips
- ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ teaspoon coconut extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper to ensure the fudge can be easily removed once set. Avoid using nonstick spray as parchment paper alone will suffice.
- Melt the Chocolate Chips: Place the white chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to promote even melting and prevent burning.
- Heat the Frosting: Remove the lid and foil from the can of white frosting. Microwave the frosting on high for 1 minute without stirring, allowing it to become warm and more fluid.
- Add Coconut Extract: Stir the coconut extract gently into the warmed frosting to infuse it with rich coconut flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: Mix the melted white chocolate chips with the coconut-flavored frosting. Then add the sweetened shredded coconut and thoroughly blend until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for about 4 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Serve: Once firm, cut the fudge into 1-inch squares or your preferred size. Serve and enjoy this creamy, coconut-flavored sweet treat!
Notes
- Make sure to stir the chocolate chips every 30 seconds during microwaving to avoid burning.
- Using parchment paper helps in easy removal of the fudge without sticking.
- You can substitute sweetened shredded coconut with unsweetened if you prefer a less sweet taste.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For variation, you can add chopped nuts or a pinch of sea salt on top before chilling.
