Ingredients

• 1 1/4 Cup Freeze-Dried Strawberries, Plus Extra pieces for decor
• 24 Ounces White Chocolate Chips
• 2 Tablespoons of Butter, Plus Extra for greasing the pan.
• 1 14 Ounce Can of Condensed Milk
• 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla

Instructions

1. Grind/ crush the freeze-dried strawberries using a coffee grinder, food processor, or blender. Leave some pieces chunky to add texture. Place them to the side for later.
2. Next, grease the sides of a 9×9-inch pan with butter and then line the bottom with parchment paper. Use a sheet of parchment paper large enough that it hangs over the sides. This will help when removing the fudge later.
3. Melt the white chocolate, condensed milk, butter, and vanilla in a saucepan on medium heat. Stir the mixture continuously so it doesn’t stick to the pan.
4. When the mixture is completely melted and combined, pour 2/3 of it into the 9×9-inch pan.
5. Quickly pour the crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the fudge that’s still remaining in the bowl. Use a spatula to fold in the freeze-dried strawberries until they are all combined.
6. Use the spatula to put scoops of the strawberry fudge in random places in the pan on top of the vanilla fudge.
7. Next, use a toothpick or knife to create swirls and lines through the fudge to give it a marble effect.
8. Place the chunky or whole pieces of freeze-dried strawberries on top of the strawberries and cream fudge for decoration.
9. Place the pan in the fridge. Let the fudge solidify in the fridge for a minimum of 3 hours or overnight.
10. When the fudge is solid, use the two ends of the parchment to help release the strawberries and cream fudge from the pan.
11. Use the heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the fudge hearts.
12. Place the hearts on a platter to serve and enjoy.

Note:

• These are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept in a air tight container in the fridge for a week.
• Use the remaining fudge scraps for extra fun creations, cut them into squares with the open heart shapes in the middle to serve as well.

Serving Suggestions

Cut the fudge into small squares and serve on a festive Valentine’s platter for parties or gatherings. It also makes a lovely edible gift when wrapped in parchment paper and placed in a decorative tin or gift box. For an extra-special touch, garnish each piece with a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried strawberries or drizzle with melted white chocolate before serving.
