Creamsicle Fudge Recipes

CREAMSICLE FUDGE

Steps:

• Combine the white chocolate chips and the can of vanilla frosting in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds at 70 percent power. Stir the mixture. The chips should be about half to three-quarters melted. Use the residual heat to completely melt the chocolate.
• Stir in orange extract.
• Spoon a third of the mixture into a separate bowl. Color the remaining mixture in the large bowl with orange food coloring. Keep adding a few drops at a time and stir well until desired shade is achieved.
• Prepare an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan by lining with greased parchment paper or non-stick foil. Scrape the orange mixture into the prepared pan. Spoon the remaining, white mixture over the top of the fudge. Use an off-set spatula or butter knife to swirl the fudge, being careful not to mix the orange and white together too much.
• Chill in the refrigerator for several hours until well set. Lift the fudge out of the baking pan and cut into square.

ORANGE CREAMSICLE SWIRL FUDGE

• In heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cream, and butter. Stir while cooking on low heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to boil while stirring, 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat; stir in chips and marshmallow cream until smooth. Set aside 1 cup of this mixture. Add orange extract and food colorings to remaining mixture; stirring until blended.

CREAMSICLE FUDGE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a 13x9 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• 2. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, cream, and butter over medium heat. Continually stir the mixture until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Brush down the sides with a wet pastry brush.
• 3. Bring the mixture to a boil, and once it starts boiling, stir continuously for four minutes.
• 4. After four minutes of boiling, remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the marshmallow cream and white chocolate chips. Stir until the white chocolate has melted and the fudge is completely smooth.
• 5. Working quickly, pour about a third of the white fudge into a bowl and set aside. To the remaining fudge, add the orange extract and orange food coloring, stirring until it is a smooth, even color. It is important to perform these steps quickly, because the fudge will start to set if you take too long, and the end result will not be smooth.
• 6. Pour the orange fudge into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Drop the white fudge over the top by the spoonful, then drag a table knife or toothpick through the fudge to create orange-white swirls. You can spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray and gently press them into the top to smooth out the swirls, if desired.
• 7. Allow the fudge to set at room temperature for 2 hours, or in the refrigerator for 1 hour. To cut, pull the fudge out of the pan using the foil as handles. Use a large sharp knife to cut the fudge into small 1-inch squares. Store Orange Creamsicle Fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, and bring it to room temperature to serve.
