Buttered Rum Fudge
White Chocolate Rum Fudge is a decadent grown-up treat you won't be able to resist, with buttered rum flavor, cinnamon and white chocolate.
Servings: 36 pieces
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups white chocolate chips 22-24 ounces
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon rum extract plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch x 8-inch baking dish with foil, pressing it into all of the corners and allowing it to hang over the edges a bit. Set aside.
- Place the white chocolate chips in a mixing bowl and set aside.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 90 seconds.
- Carefully remove the bowl and immediately pour the milk over the chocolate chips. Allow the chocolate chip to melt for 1 minute before stirring. Stir until combined and smooth.
- Pour in the rum extract and butter and add a pinch of salt. Carefully mix until completely combined. Taste the fudge and adjust the rum extract (adding more as needed) until the flavor is to your liking.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish. Use a rubber or offset spatula to smooth the fudge into an even layer. Tap the dish on the table a couple times to remove any bubbles.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of cinnamon all over the top of the fudge.
- Refrigerate for 2-4 hours, or until the fudge has set. Remove the fudge from the fridge and cut into 36 pieces.
Notes
Refrigerator storage : This is a great treat to make ahead of time and package as gifts for the holiday season. Stored in an airtight container in the fridge it will last for 3-4 weeks.
Freezer storage: While you technically can freeze fudge, it will change the texture and can become grainy. If you want to give it a try, wrap tightly in a few layers of plastic wrap and place into a freezer bag. Thaw at room temperature.
Keep in mind that rum extract, used in this recipe, will likely contain alcohol. I recommend enjoying this fudge as an adults only treat.
