Equipment

  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Blender
  • Saucepan
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Parchment Paper
  • 9" x 9" Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Plus Extra pieces for decor.
  • 24 Ounces White Chocolate Chips
  • 2 Tablespoon of Butter Plus Extra for greasing the pan.
  • 14 Ounce Can of Condensed Milk
  • 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla

Instructions

  • Grind the freeze-dried strawberries using a coffee grinder, food processor, or blender. Leave some pieces chunky for more texture. Place them to the side for later.
  • Grease the sides of a 9x9 inch pan with butter and then line the bottom with parchment paper. Use a sheet of parchment paper large enough that it hangs over the sides. This will help when removing the fudge later.
  • Melt the white chocolate, condensed milk, butter, and vanilla in a saucepan on medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously so it doesn’t stick to the pan.
  • When the mixture is completely melted and combined, pour 2/3 of it into the 9x9 inch pan.
  • Quickly pour the crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the fudge that still remains in the bowl. Use a spatula to fold in the freeze-dried strawberries until it is all combined.
  • Use the spatula to put scoops of the strawberry fudge in random places in the pan on top of the vanilla fudge.
  • Use a toothpick or knife to create swirls and lines through the fudge to give it a marble effect.
  • Place the chunky or whole pieces of freeze-dried strawberries on top of the strawberries and cream fudge for decoration.
  • Place the pan in the fridge. Let the fudge solidify in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight.
  • When the fudge is solid, use the two ends of the parchment to help release the strawberries and cream fudge from the pan.
  • Use the heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the fudge hearts.
  • Place the hearts on a platter to Serve and Enjoy.

Notes

-These are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for a week.
-We're not wasting any delicious strawberry fudge here. To make use of the scraps, you can cut around the open heart shapes to make a square with an open heart in the center to serve. Or if you're like me, you'll just eat the scrap pieces yourself :)
