Cherry Fudge is full of delicious maraschino cherries and creamy white chocolate. Plus a secret ingredient to add a fluffy texture: marshmallow cream!
I love making new recipes with cherries. Our Cherry Fluff Salad is always a huge hit at BBQ’s and our Cherry Almond Bundt Cake is delicious!
White Chocolate Cherry Fudge
To make this cherry fudge, first you need to get your cherries ready. Start by chopping them into tiny pieces and laying them out on a paper towel to dry. You’ll need to let to dry for about half an hour.
Next, melt the butter, sugar, salt and cream until it reaches 235 degrees. (A candy thermometer is really helpful for this!)
Pull the mixture off the heat and stir in the white chocolate chips and marshmallow cream. Last to go in are your cherries.
Chocolate Fudge Tips
Make sure to use parchment paper to line your pan — it makes getting it back out of dish so much easier when you’re ready to serve it.
To cut fudge, make sure it has completely hardened – overnight is usually best. Then warm up your knife by running it under hot water. After each cut, wipe your knife clean before you make the next cut.
