Description
Easy, no-bake Unicorn Fudge with colorful swirls. Made with white chocolate chips and condensed milk, this vibrant dessert is perfect for parties and gifts.
Ingredients
- 3 cups / 510g White Chocolate Chips
- 14 oz can / 397g Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2–3 drops each Gel Food Coloring (various colors)
- 1/4 cup or more Unicorn Sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt White Chocolate & Condensed Milk: Combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 60-90 seconds. Stir well until smooth and fully melted. If needed, microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is thick, glossy, and completely smooth.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until it’s perfectly combined.
- Divide & Color: Carefully divide the melted fudge mixture into 3-4 separate small bowls. Add 2-3 drops of different gel food coloring to each bowl. Stir each bowl until the color is uniform and vibrant throughout.
- Layer & Swirl: Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting. Drop spoonfuls of each colored fudge randomly into the prepared pan. Use a knife or a skewer to gently swirl the colors together. Be careful not to over-swirl.
- Sprinkle & Chill: Immediately and generously sprinkle your colorful fudge with unicorn sprinkles. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm.
- Cut & Serve: Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into small, bite-sized squares. This recipe typically yields about 25-36 delightful pieces.
Notes
Tips for Success:
- For allergy-friendly options, consider using dairy-free sweetened condensed milk and vegan white chocolate chips.
- If you can’t find unicorn-themed sprinkles, any combination of colorful sprinkles will work wonderfully.
- You can use a double boiler on the stovetop instead of the microwave for melting the chocolate and condensed milk.
- Prepare your pan with parchment paper ahead of time — it makes cleanup and removal a breeze!
Avoid These Common Mistakes:
- Overheating chocolate: Always heat in short bursts and stir frequently to prevent the chocolate from scorching or seizing.
- Over-swirling colors: Use a gentle hand; just a few strokes are enough to create a magical swirl. Too much swirling will muddy your colors.
- Not chilling long enough: Fudge needs ample time to firm up for clean, crisp cuts.
