Strawberry Fudge Recipe
This really is an easy-to-make fudge recipe as it contains only four ingredients. The freeze-dried strawberries are an absolute must. They give the fudge a fresh but intense strawberry flavor. Because of the freeze-dried strawberry, the fudge does not taste like an artificial strawberry flavor but tastes like it has been made with fresh strawberries.
Tips and variations for making this Strawberry Fudge Recipe:
● As with any fudge recipe, you must work quickly.
● This recipe was made using canned strawberry frosting.
● Use freeze-dried strawberries. You can find them in the produce section of most grocery stores, the fruit and nut section at Trader Joe’s, or online here.
● Warm up the frosting a little before mixing; not hot, just to pouring consistency.
● If you plan on making 36 servings, that is cutting 6 rows x 6 rows. If you plan on making 25 servings, that is cutting 5 rows by 5 rows.
● Place one sheet of parchment paper across the pan. Place the second sheet of parchment paper across the first sheet (to form an +).
● It is best if the rest of the ingredients are not altered as they specifically complement or counteract each other in the perfect manner. I would not be able to offer any other suggestions as substitutions that would work in the same manner.
● Fudge can be stored in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container. It will last up to two weeks in either situation. Do not store fudge at room temperature.

Strawberry Fudge Recipe Ingredients:
● 16oz Strawberry Frosting
● 12oz White Chocolate
● 1oz Freeze-Dried Strawberry Fruit Crisps, lightly crushed
● 2 tsp Assorted Sprinkles, to Garnish
Strawberry Fudge Mise en Place:
● Spatula
● Spoon
● Measuring Cup
● Measuring Spoons
● 8″x8″ Cake Pan
● Double Boiler
● Parchment Paper
Strawberry Fudge Recipe Directions:
1. Lightly grease an 8″ x 8″ cake pan and line it with parchment paper (in the shape of a +). Set aside.
2. Warm the strawberry frosting in the microwave for about 30 to 45 seconds, or until it is slightly liquid (pourable) but not hot or warm.
3. In a double boiler (or a bowl snugly fitted over a saucepan filled with simmering water), melt the white chocolate chips.
4. When the chips are melted, add the strawberry frosting and mix very well until combined.
5. Reserve one tablespoon of lightly crushed freeze-dried strawberries for garnish. Add the remaining lightly crushed freeze-dried strawberry fruit crisps to the chips mixture. Stir until well combined.
6. Spread the strawberry fudge mixture in the prepared pan. Smoothen the top with a spatula.
7. Sprinkle the remaining crushed freeze-dried strawberry fruit crisps and assorted sprinkles on top of the fudge. We went with heart-shaped valentines’ sprinkles, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
8. Let it chill in the fridge for 4 hours, up to overnight.
9. Remove the fudge by picking up the ends of the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and cut into 25 (5×5) or 36 (6×6) even squares.
10. Serve immediately.
11. Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
