This 2-ingredient white fudge is super easy to make and livens up the dessert table for any special event. It’s also a delicious sweet treat and gift for neighbors, friends, and family members. I love the way this fudge adds such a festive touch and elevates the mood of anyone who sees or tastes it.

One of my former neighbors called it my Christmas fudge recipe because I brought her some with the red and green sprinkles. It’s also a patriotic fudge and birthday fudge recipe, depending on the colors I use to decorate it.

I highly recommend reading this entire post before you begin preparing the recipe. However, if all you want is the list of ingredients with full directions, please either click on the jump-to-recipe button above or scroll to the bottom of this post.

Easy Fudge Recipe

Back when I was much younger, making fudge was an all-day event. My mother would pull out boxes and cans of ingredients, line them up on the counter, and hand me an apron.

Although I enjoyed the process, by the time we finished making a couple of batches of fudge, we were exhausted. And the kitchen was a huge mess.

Now, I’ve learned so many different shortcuts to making a wide variety of fudge flavors. For example, this traditional chocolate fudge takes very little time and only a few ingredients.

Another one we enjoy is this 2-ingredient peanut butter fudge. Since peanut butter is one of my favorite foods, I make this type of fudge quite often.

When you want to get into the spirit of any special occasion, try this yummy festive fudge recipe.

During those times when time is really limited, we also enjoy this easy chocolate fudge. Unlike many of my other chocolate fudge recipes, it’s made without sweetened condensed milk.

2-Ingredient White Fudge Ingredients

As the title states, you only need 2 ingredients. It’s super easy as long as you’re prepared with the tools you need.

Here’s what you need to have ready to go:

• One 15 or 16-ounce can of vanilla frosting
• 10 or 12-ounce package of white chocolate chips or melting wafers

You can also use 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring, but that’s optional. I don’t typically add it.

And here are the tools you’ll need:

• Medium-size microwave-safe mixing bowl
• 8” x 8” square baking pan lined with foil
• Spoon for stirring

Although the fudge is wonderful without any decoration, I like to decorate it for the season. Since I typically make this during the Christmas holidays, I use green and red sprinkles.

It’s also great for Valentine’s Day, Easter, and birthdays. You can use sprinkles, small candies, or chocolate chips.

If you’re hosting a gender reveal party, it’s fun to use pink or blue sprinkles. Or you can make a game out of it and serve both. Ask people to choose a piece of fudge in the color they think the baby is: pink for girl and blue for boy. Then have the mother-to-be (or parents-to-be) select the color of the gender the baby is.

There are so many different fun things you can do with this fudge. The light background provides a nice canvas for whatever sprinkle colors you like.

Prepare to Make the Fudge

First, I like to get all the tools and ingredients ready so I don’t have to fumble for things as I go. It makes the process so much easier and makes me less prone to forgetting something.

Secondly, line an 8” x 8” square cake pan with aluminum foil. Make sure the foil is large enough to hang over the edge of the pan because this gives you a “handle” to lift the fudge after it sets.

How to Make 2-Ingredient White Fudge

Next, pour your melting wafers or white chips into a microwave-safe bowl.

Put it in the microwave and heat them on high for 60 seconds.

Stir the semi-melted chips and return them to the microwave for 30 seconds.

This time, when you remove the bowl from the microwave, you’ll want to add the frosting.

This is super easy. Simply scoop it out of the container and into the bowl.

Return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds. Now stir the contents until everything is well mixed.

If you want a little extra vanilla flavor, now is the time to add it.

Next, pour the mixture into your foil-lined pan.

You can either leave it as-is or add sprinkles to the top.

I like to jiggle the pan a little so the sprinkles sink just a tiny bit. Otherwise, they may fall off as you cut it.

Now, stick the pan of fudge into your refrigerator and let it set for a minimum of 2 hours.

It’s actually better to leave it for 6 hours or longer, but sometimes … well, sometimes you just need a bite of fudge.

After it sets, take the fudge out of the fridge. Grasp the edges of the foil and lift from the pan.

Finally, your fudge is ready to cut. I normally cut it into 1-1/2” or 2” squares, depending on how many people I want it to serve.

Tips to Make the Best White Fudge

This fudge only has 2 ingredients, so I consider it one of my easiest and most budget-friendly holiday recipes. Here are some ways to make it even better:

• Add your favorite flavoring, such as almond, mint, or vanilla extract.
• If you add a flavor extract, choose one that is clear to prevent discoloration of the fudge.
• Don’t forget to prep the pan before pouring the fudge into it. Line it with foil or parchment paper and grease it. This prevents sticking.
• Melt the ingredients gradually and check it often. Overheating this fudge will result in lumps and burned flavors.
• Don’t be afraid to beat the fudge mixture before pouring it into a pan. This adds air and provides the best texture.
• Decorate it before it sets. Gently press down on the sprinkles or colored sugar to prevent it from falling off. But don’t press it down into the fudge.
• Refrigerate it to help it set more quickly. But don’t leave it in the refrigerator uncovered for more than a day or it will dry out.
• Be patient and don’t cut the fudge until it sets.
• Store this fudge in an airtight container and put it in the refrigerator.

Time Saver

I love the fact that there are shortcuts you can use to save time. Many of the ingredients in my 2 or 3 ingredient foods are actually a blend of the ingredients already in the dish.

During the holidays or any other special occasion, I’ve found that time gets away from me if I let it. I figured that this is the case with many of you, so I wanted to share my tips.

That said, if you prefer to do things the longer, more time consuming way, that’s fine too. I’ve done both, so I get it.
