The creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture is pure magic, and that sweet strawberry flavor will have everyone asking for your recipe. I love making a double batch to gift to neighbors or stash in the freezer for up to 3 months. It’s perfect for Valentine’s Day, baby showers, birthday parties, or any spring holiday table where you want that gorgeous pop of pink. Once you try it, you’ll be finding excuses to whip up a batch!

Ingredients Needed

You only need four simple ingredients to make this pink beauty. Check your canned frosting label for real strawberry puree; it’ll give you a much better, more natural flavor. Here’s everything you’ll need:

• 1 can (16 oz) strawberry frostingthe key shortcut!
• 12 oz high-quality white chocolate chipsfor the smoothest texture
• 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extractraspberry extract works great too
• 1/4 cup red and white sprinklesentirely optional, but they make it festive

Look for a frosting that lists real strawberry puree in the ingredients to avoid an overly artificial, candy-like flavor. Your taste buds will thank you!

Instructions

This recipe takes about 8 minutes of prep time and just 2 minutes in the microwave. The hardest part is waiting for it to set! Follow these steps for perfect squares every time:

1. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with wax paper or parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the strawberry frosting and strawberry extract (or raspberry). Stir until well mixed.
3. Place the white chocolate chips in another microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until completely smooth. This prevents scorching and graininess.
4. Pour the melted white chocolate into the frosting mixture and stir in the sprinkles (reserve a few for topping).
5. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. If it’s too thick to spread, rewarm it for a few seconds.
6. Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles on top for that festive look.
7. Refrigerate for about 1 hour until firm. For faster setting, you can leave it at room temperature for about 1 hour instead.
8. Once set, run a sharp knife under hot water, wipe it dry, and cut into squares. Yields 12-16 pieces.

Top Tips

• Mix the extract and frosting thoroughly before adding to the melted chocolate so every bite bursts with flavor.
• Let the fudge set completely before slicing, at least 1 hour in the fridge. Patience, friend!
• Use high-quality white chocolate chips; cheaper brands can give a waxy texture.
• If your mixture separates or becomes oily, it likely over-heated. Stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil to gently bring it back together.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for 2 weeks.
• For a chocolate-covered strawberry twist, layer half the fudge in the pan, add a thin layer of melted dark chocolate, then top with remaining fudge mixture. Wouldn’t that be pretty?

Variations

This fudge is a blank canvas for your creativity! Here are a few of my favorite ways to dress it up:

• Top with toasted shredded coconut for a tropical vibe.
• Sprinkle with chopped nuts like pistachios or almonds for crunch.
• A pinch of flaky sea salt on top balances the sweetness beautifully.
• Use heart sprinkles to make it extra festive for Valentine’s Day.
• Swap the strawberry extract for raspberry, orange, or even almond for a whole new flavor profile.
• Pour the mixture into a loaf pan for thicker, chunkier squares.
