Ingredients

Units Scale

Fudge Base

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium banana)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp banana extract (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Optional Toppings

  • Crushed vanilla wafers
  • Banana chips
  • Melted white chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Combine White Chocolate and Condensed Milk: In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently heat 2 cups of white chocolate chips and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, stirring often until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  2. Add Melted Butter: Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter until the fudge base looks glossy and silky, ensuring an even blend.
  3. Add Mashed Banana and Flavorings: Mix in ½ cup of mashed ripe banana, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon banana extract (optional), and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle your choice of optional toppings such as crushed vanilla wafers, banana chips, or drizzle melted white chocolate over the surface to add extra texture and flavor.
  5. Chill: Transfer the fudge mixture into a pan lined with parchment paper, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm enough to slice.
  6. Slice and Serve: Lift the chilled fudge from the pan using parchment edges, cut into squares, and serve chilled or allow to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes for a softer texture.

Notes

  • Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze the fudge wrapped tightly for up to 1 month.
  • Allow frozen fudge to soften slightly at room temperature before eating for best texture.
