Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 16 ounces store-bought vanilla frosting (1 tub)
  • ½ teaspoon orange extract
  • orange food coloring (to desired shade)

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Dish - Start by lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. This will help you easily lift the fudge out once it has set. Make sure to leave some overhang, as it will serve as handles.
  • Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate Chips - In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat; you want the chocolate to be melted but not burnt.
  • Step 3: Mix in the Frosting - Once the white chocolate is melted, add the entire tub of vanilla frosting to the bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
  • Step 4: Add Flavor and Color - Incorporate the ½ teaspoon of orange extract into the mixture for that refreshing creamsicle flavor. Next, add orange food coloring to achieve your desired shade of orange. Mix well until the color is uniform.
  • Step 5: Pour the Mixture into the Dish - Pour your creamy orange mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, smoothing out the top as much as possible.
  • Step 6: Chill to Set - Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until fully set. You can also place it in the freezer to speed up the setting process, but keep an eye on it to avoid freezing.
  • Step 7: Cut and Enjoy - Once it’s set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the overhanging parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
