WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY NUT FUDGE



White Chocolate Cranberry Nut Fudge image

I based this recipe on several others I've seen. It is so good! The cranberries cut the sweetness of the white chocolate. Don't leave them out or it may be too sweet. If you use evaporated milk, one large can = 1 1/2 cups. Toasting the nuts is optional but it brings out their flavor. This is a great holiday sweet.

Time 30m

Yield 6 lbs.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 (12 ounce) packages white chocolate chips or 32 ounces white chocolate, broken into pieces
2 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 (16 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 1/2 cups dairy eggnog or 1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup pistachios, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped

Steps:

  • Toast the nuts, either on the stovetop in a large skillet over medium-high heat or in the over at 350F for about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Grease a 13x9 inch pan with butter and set aside.
  • Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or in a bowl set over simmering water. Set aside, keeping it over the warm water so it does not solidify again.
  • Combine sugar, butter, marshmallow crème, 3/4 cup eggnog and salt in a heavy 4 quart saucepan (if using evaporated milk use all of it at this point).
  • Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly. When mixture comes to a full boil, boil for exactly 5 minutes, still stirring constantly and making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent scorching.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 3/4 cup eggnog, melted white chocolate, vanilla, nutmeg, nuts and cranberries. Beat until well blended.
  • Pour into prepared pan. Cool to room temperature, refrigerating if desired. This may take several hours. When firm, cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.

  • To make sure the fudge sets properly, use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the sugar mixture. It should reach 235 degrees Fahrenheit (113 degrees Celsius).

  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.

  • Once the fudge has set, cut it into small pieces and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

  • Fudge can also be frozen for up to two months. To freeze, wrap the fudge tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe bag.

Conclusion:

Cranberry Walnut White Fudge is the perfect holiday dessert because it is easy to make, delicious, and festive. It is made with just a few simple ingredients, and it can be made in advance, making it a great option for busy holiday gatherings. The combination of sweet and tart cranberries, crunchy walnuts, and creamy white chocolate makes this fudge a truly special treat.
