Indulgent white chocolate caramel pecan fudge delivers a luxurious dessert experience straight from Southern kitchens. Creamy layers of sweet caramel and rich chocolate combine with crunchy pecans for a memorable treat you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz/397 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 3/4 cup (177 ml) caramel sauce (room temperature)
- 1 cup (100 g) pecans (finely chopped)
- 4 tbsps unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt white chocolate chips, butter, vanilla extract, and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl, heating at 30-second intervals and stirring between each session.
- Reduce microwave intervals to 15 seconds as mixture approaches complete melting, stirring consistently to maintain smooth texture.
- When fully melted and blended, gently fold in finely chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over edges for easy removal.
- Pour the white chocolate and pecan mixture into the prepared dish, spreading uniformly to create an approximately one-inch thick layer.
- Drizzle room temperature caramel sauce across the surface in a zigzag pattern.
- Using a knife, create a marbling effect by gently swirling caramel through the white chocolate base.
- Refrigerate the fudge for 2-3 hours or until completely firm and set.
- Remove from refrigerator and lift out of pan using parchment paper edges.
- Cut into precise one-inch squares using a sharp knife, wiping blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
Notes
- Microwave white chocolate carefully, stirring every 30 seconds to avoid scorching and ensure smooth melting.
- Swap pecans with almonds, walnuts, or completely omit for nut-free version, making the fudge adaptable to different dietary needs.
- Create beautiful marbled patterns by gently dragging a knife through caramel, ensuring each piece looks professionally crafted.
- Keep fudge refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week, allowing easy make-ahead dessert preparation for gatherings or quick sweet treats.
