Why You’ll Love This Strawberry Swirl Fudge

– It’s a real show-off, basically the prom queen of desserts without the attitude.
– The kind of indulgence that makes adulting a tad more bearable.
– Taste buds will thank you. Random midnight cravings won’t stand a chance.
– Perfect excuse to embrace a sweet mess in the kitchen.

How to Make It

Okay folks, grab a saucepan, your favorite stirring spoon, and let’s get messy. First off, you’ll want to melt up some white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. It’s like these two are made for each other. Don’t wander off — this stuff can turn on you faster than a sneaky toddler. Once it’s looking silky-smooth, pop in a dash of vanilla and a pinch of salt. Those two may seem optional, but trust me, they’re the secret handshake of the flavor world.

Next up, get your trusty strawberry jam and ripple it right through. Channel your inner Jackson Pollock and swirl until your creation sings to you. Pour it into a lined pan — no one likes cleanup — then wham, bam, into the fridge it goes until it’s fudgy-firm.

Ingredient Notes

– **White Chocolate**: Alright, this is the canvas. Lean on quality squares. Cheap ones tend to act like unruly toddlers — unpredictable and full of surprises.
– **Sweetened Condensed Milk**: The creamy glue of our operation. If you forget it, you’ll be explaining why liquid fudge was your intention all along.
– **Strawberry Jam**: I’ve sacrificed many a jam jar to get this swirl right. Go for quality. Don’t skimp here unless you fancy sadness.

Recipe Steps:

1. Melt the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Stir in the vanilla and salt until smooth.
3. Swirl in the strawberry jam to achieve a marbled effect.
4. Pour the mixture into a lined pan.
5. Chill in the fridge until firm, then cut into squares and enjoy.

What to Serve It With

Tips & Mistakes

– Don’t let the chocolate burn. It’s like bringing a guitar to a drum battle. Unnecessary drama.
– Forgetting the vanilla is criminal. Okay, maybe not criminal, but you’ll be sad, and that’s punishment enough.

Storage Tips

Okay, keep your leftovers in the fridge — if there are any. Cold fudge is a delight, especially if you sneak a piece at breakfast. Zero judgment. You do you.

Variations and Substitutions

If you’re out of white chocolate, milk chocolate can work, but it’s a whole new vibe. Fun fact — once I used raspberry jam instead, and while the result was more purple than pink, no one’s complaining.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t have gluten… will this still work?

Totally. Just switch the soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. I’ve done it more times than I can count. Still tastes bomb.

Do I have to peel the pineapple first? Asking for a friend.

Yeah… definitely peel it. Unless you’re into chewing bark. It’s not fun, trust me.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh?

Been there, done that. Just drain it like your life depends on it. Still good, just not *as* wow.

How sweet is this? Can I tone it down a bit?

You totally can. Cut the sugar a little or swap in honey or maple syrup. I’ve done both when I ran out of brown sugar.

What if I skip the sesame oil?

Honestly? It’s fine. You’ll lose that toasted vibe, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Still delicious.
