Deliciously creamy White Chocolate Fudge made with sweetened condensed milk. This lovely six ingredient fudge is packed with pecans and makes for a sweet Christmas treat.
Happy holidays friends! 💕
December is here which means it’s time to bust out the Christmas treats, starting with this buttery White Chocolate Fudge. Just six ingredients and you’ll be met with a sweet, creamy fudge packed with pecans.
It’s also the perfect treat for Christmas gift-giving.
Are you a fudge fan? This buttery White Chocolate Fudge will win over any fudge skeptic. Made with sweetened condensed milk, butter, vanilla and white chocolate, it’s super sweet, with just the right amount of chew and a little crunch from the pecans.
It only takes about 10 minutes to make and there’s plenty for sharing.
I’ve published a few fudge recipes over the years, remember my Dark Chocolate Almond Fudge and Rocky Road Chocolate Fudge? But now I’m ALL about that White Chocolate Fudge.
It took me quite a few attempts to get this White Chocolate Fudge just right. White chocolate has a different make-up to regular chocolate, so the first few attempts resulted in a fudge that tasted delicious but was too soft to cut and share.
My solution? Adding a little more white chocolate for stability and a dash of baking soda at the end. This helps to create a slightly drier texture, for easy slicing. You also need to give this fudge a good long while to set in the fridge.
But if you follow the instructions, you’ll be met with the sweetest White Chocolate Fudge. Merry Christmas x

White Chocolate Fudge
Creamy White Chocolate Fudge filled with pecans and made with sweetened condensed milk.
Ingredients
- 450 grams (3 cups) white chocolate melts
- 240 ml (1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
- 35 grams (2 level tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 110 grams (1 cup) pecans, plus a few extra for decorating
- Sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Grease and line an 8 inch square baking tin with baking or parchment paper. In a medium-sized saucepan, add chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, butter and vanilla.
- Place on a low heat, stirring until completely melted. Continue to heat for 3-5 minutes or until fudge thickens slightly and starts to almost bubble on the edges. Be sure to keep stirring so fudge doesn’t burn or stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from the heat, stir through baking soda and nuts and gently mix. Add a sprinkle of sea salt if desired. Pour chocolate mixture into prepared pan and gently smooth over the top. Sprinkle a few extra pecans over the top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm. Once the fudge is firm, cut into small squares (approximately 1 inch square) using a sharp knife and serve. Store fudge in the fridge to keep firm.

Hi Jessica! My family and I just visited a fudge factory in Nauvoo IL and we tried white fudge with pecans. Oh my goodness! We LOVED it! We all came home with lots of different kinds of fudge but the white was our absolute favorite! Who knew? It was so creamy and delicious! So I’ve been scouring the web for recipes that is hopefully close to what we had. I’m thinking yours will. I’m super excited to try and will let you know!
Jessica Holmes says
Ooh love hearing that Kate! Gosh, I hope this recipe lives up to that very delicious memory!
Claire says
Do you think freeze dried raspberries would work instead of pecans?
Jessica Holmes says
Yes I do!!
Linda says
What brand of white chocolate do you recommend? Thanks
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Linda, I usually use Nestle Plaistowe.
JMS says
Made it for a group of Brazilians and they absolutely loved it! Also was my first time to make fudge ever! Tried two other recipes as well but this one turned out perfectly and was a hit at my Christmas party!
Jessica Holmes says
Aw I love hearing that! So glad you enjoyed it!
Ophelia Thomas says
While making this, the fat seperated before I could stir in the baking soda. I looked up how to fix it, and most websites suggested beating it and adding hot water. This worked well, fortunately. I also read that adding the butter while melting your chocolate and condensed milk is what causes separation. I will add the butter at the end next time, but otherwise an excellent recipe!

Glad you enjoyed it Ophelia! Make sure you use good quality white chocolate – sometimes seizing can occur if you overheat your chocolate so keep an eye on the temperature.
Lisa Joan Murphey says
Hi….nice recipe, but….why do you use baking soda?Never saw a fudge recipe with that ingredient.
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Lisa, its a little trick that helps the fudge set!
Lisa Joan Murphey says
Oh….sorry, just read why you add the baking soda. Just made this and I have a feeling I will have to remelt and add more chips and the baking soda.
Ginger Vermaes says
I feel silly for asking but what is white chocolate melts? I would love to make this for the people at work but I want to make sure I use the right stuff.

Hi Ginger! Not a silly question at all – sorry for the confusion – White chocolate melts are a type of chocolate that’s specifically designed for melting. Here in Australia, they’re usually called chocolate melts and can be found in the baking aisle. I tested this recipe with a regular block of white chocolate and white chocolate melts and found the melts worked slightly better, although either is fine. Melting chocolate is designed to melt but also set quickly after melting. I don’t often use them for my baking but in this recipe, that attribute works well to help set the fudge. I hope that makes sense! If you don’t have access to white chocolate melts, simply use a block of white chocolate. I hope you enjoy the fudge!
Ginger Vermaes says
Thank you so much for the answer Jessica. i’ll be making these for work and home. We all love fudge but have never had the white fudge so this will be a treat for all of us.
