Ingredients
Fudge Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure the fudge sets properly and is easy to remove.
- Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, molasses, and all spices (ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg) directly into the slow cooker insert.
- Cook the Fudge: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the Low setting for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to ensure all ingredients melt evenly and blend into a smooth mixture.
- Pour into Pan: Once the fudge mixture is smooth and fully melted, carefully pour it into the prepared parchment-lined pan, spreading evenly.
- Chill the Fudge: Refrigerate the fudge in the pan for 2 to 3 hours or until it becomes firm and set.
- Cut into Squares: Remove the set fudge from the refrigerator and cut into 20 squares for serving.
- Store Properly: Place the fudge pieces in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Make sure to stir the mixture every 30 minutes to prevent burning or sticking.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal of fudge from the pan.
- You can adjust the spices to taste for a more or less intense gingerbread flavor.
- Store fudge tightly covered to avoid drying out or absorbing odors from other foods.
- If you prefer a softer fudge, reduce chilling time slightly.
