Cranberry-Walnut White Fudge
Recipe Type: Candy,
Cranberries
Yields: 36 pieces
Prep time: 15 min
Ingredients:
1 (12-ounce) package white vanilla chips
1/2 cup powdered (confectioners')
sugar
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup prepared vanilla frosting (the kind you buy at the store)
3/4 cup coarsely-chopped walnut or pecans*
2/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries**
1 teaspoon grated orange zest (peel)
* Macadamia nuts may be substituted.
** I also have substituted candied cherries and dried apricots. If using chopped
candied cherries, drain well before using.
Preparation:
Line a 9-inch square baking dish with aluminum foil,
extending foil over the edges. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the
vanilla chips, stirring until smooth; remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, cream
cheese, and vanilla frosting; blend well. Stir in melted vanilla chips, walnut,
cranberries, and orange zest.
Spread fudge mixture into the prepared baking
dish. Refrigerate approximately 1 to 2 hours or until the fudge is firm.
When the fudge is firm, remove from the
refrigerator. Remove from the dish by lifting the aluminum foil and removing the
foil from the fudge; discard aluminum foil. Cut into squares.
Store in an airtight container in the
refrigerator. Use wax paper between fudge layers.
Serve fudge at room temperature. Yields
36 pieces.
