Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces (454 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sweetened condensed milk
Binding and Flavor Ingredients:
- 9 graham cracker squares, crushed
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) vanilla extract
Garnish and Texture Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) salt
Instructions
- Prepare a square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and applying cooking spray. Create a complete base layer using graham cracker squares, trimming edges as necessary to ensure full coverage.
- In a saucepan, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Melt ingredients over medium heat, stirring consistently until achieving a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Lower heat to medium-low and incorporate instant cheesecake pudding mix. Continuously stir until pudding completely dissolves, transforming the mixture into a thick, glossy texture.
- Remove from heat and fold in marshmallow fluff. Stir until fully integrated, creating a creamy, homogeneous fudge base.
- Gently pour the fudge mixture over the graham cracker foundation, using a spatula to distribute evenly across the entire surface.
- Refrigerate for approximately 3 hours at 40°F, allowing the fudge to solidify completely and develop a firm, sliceable consistency.
- Once set, slice into bite-sized squares and serve chilled. Store any remaining fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Prevent sticking by thoroughly greasing parchment paper with cooking spray before laying graham crackers.
- Choose full-fat sweetened condensed milk for richer, creamier fudge texture and more intense flavor.
- Stir chocolate mixture constantly to avoid burning and ensure smooth, silky consistency.
- Allow fudge to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation and maintain perfect texture.
