This is a treat you can whip up in no time. It’s smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. The white chocolate base is mixed with crunchy nuts and swirled with sweet caramel. It’s so easy to make – just melt, mix, and chill. You don’t even need to turn on the oven. It is so darn delicious, its practically impossible to resist eating more than one piece.

This fudge is great for holiday parties, gift-giving, or just when you want something sweet. It’s rich, so a little goes a long way. Try it out and see how tasty and simple it can be to make your own fudge at home.

This delightful fudge is just like regular fudge – super rich, uber decadent – but it’s secretly healthy and guilt-free!  Yup, that means no butter, no white sugar and no sweetened condensed milk…  just pure, fudgy coconutty goodness.

The big secret here is that you will be using homemade condensed milk, free of the LOADS of sugar in store bought stuff.

The facts are… manufacturers take out about 60% of the water from the milk to “condense” it down. After they “condense” the milk, they add about 40% sugar to fill the void from the water.

I’m sure you’re asking yourself why the manufacturers do this. Well, the added sugar means the shelf life is longer, plus transporting the milk is easier due to not having to store it in cooler temperatures.

Its always about the convenience to them, rather than peoples health.

But when you take the time and effort to make your own condensed milk, especially if its from coconut cream to make this delightful fudge, you get all the real, natural coconut flavor – no artificial food flavorings here!  Each little cube is like a piece of heaven.

This fudge is super soft, yet holds its shape long enough for you to pop them in your mouth… where they then melt in your mouth.

The recipe for the homemade condensed milk is below in notes. It really very easy to do and you can keep some in your fridge so its ready to add a dollop on EVERYTHING for a super healthy treat.

It will be something you can enjoy regularly as part of a healthy eating plan. Its high in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a form of beneficial fat that can increase energy levels and enhance brain function and has many other health benefits.

MCTs also help people lose weight by making them feel fuller longer and encouraging fat burning, they also have anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties that can boost the immune system and promote healthy skin.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups condensed milk - store bought or homemade sugar free recipe below in notes. Note: You will need to double the homemade recipe to get 1½ cups for the full fudge recipe.
  • 1 cup nuts - cashews, macadamias, or pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce – store bought or homemade sugar free recipe below in notes.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • If you are going to make your own sugar free homemade condensed milk and caramel sauce, make this first and store in fridge so its ready when you go to make the fudge.
    Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the fudge out easier for cutting.
    Melt the ingredients. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine your chocolate chips and condensed milk. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second spurts stirring in between bursts until the chocolate begins to melt.
    Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the condensed milk and chocolate chips together.
    Stir frequently, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is completely smooth, takes up to 10 minutes.
    Stir in the vanilla extract and pour the mixture into the lined baking pan and smooth out with a spatula or back of a spoon.

Caramel Swirl

  • The caramel swirl is what makes this fudge really special. After scooping the  fudge mixture into the lined pan, drizzle the room temperature caramel sauce over the top.
    Use a knife or spatula to make swirls in the fudge ,but be careful not to mix too much. This will create pretty caramel ribbons throughout the fudge.
    Chill the fudge until set.
    Once ready, slice into 1-inch squares.
    To store: These fudgy squares should be stored in the refrigerator, covered and will keep well for up to 4 weeks.
    To freeze: Place leftovers in a zip lock bag and store it in the freezer for up to 6 months.
