A SIMPLE STRAWBERRY DESSERT RECIPE
While I’m calling this a Strawberry Fudge recipe, it’s not really a true fudge recipe, more like a strawberry candy recipe, but it looks like fudge. I love how simple it is to make, especially since it comes together with just 10 minutes of prep work. The texture is unique, overall it is smooth with an occasional crunch from a freeze dried strawberry. An easy, fun candy for when you wake up with a sweet tooth!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
You will know this fudge is done when it stays stiff when you lift it out of the baking dish with the parchment paper.
The strawberry flavor is not overpowering, but is the main flavor in the fudge. It is also very sweet.
Yes, this fudge will stay soft in the fridge in an airtight container.
When this happens, it means that the chocolate has burned and that it was heated at too high of a temperature or not stirred constantly. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to fix this, but when you try again, ensure you have the heat at the lowest possible heat, or use a double boiler to melt the chocolate to make sure it doesn’t burn.
I know it can be tempting to use fresh strawberries but I don’t recommend using them because they would release too much liquid and mess up the texture.
Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY FUDGE
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. Add the white chocolate chips to a medium saucepan and heat on low heat, stirring constantly, until all of the white chocolate chips are melted. Once the white chocolate is melted, remove from the heat and stir in the strawberry frosting until well combined.
Gently stir in the freeze dried strawberries and then pour the mixture into the baking dish.
Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Remove from the fridge and cut into 16 squares, then enjoy!
