Frozen fudge is a magical treat I whip up for birthday parties and movie nights especially when I want something fun easy and a little bit different This creamy blue fudge always steals the show with color and kid friendly flavor
I first made this on a snow day when everyone was craving something sweet but we had nothing but basics in the pantry Ever since my nieces insist I bring it to any gathering
Ingredients
- White chocolate chips: create the creamy sweet base Choose real white chocolate chips for best results and check the ingredients for cocoa butter
- Sweetened condensed milk: makes the texture perfectly silky Use a trusted brand for consistent richness
- Pure vanilla extract: layers in warmth and balances the sweetness Real vanilla really makes a difference
- Blue food coloring: gives that Frozen flair Use a gel type for vibrant color without thinning the mixture
- Sprinkles for garnish: add crunch and fun Choose any color combo or go classic with silver white or blue nonpareils
- Cooking spray for pan: this prevents sticking Ensure full even coverage in all corners
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line an eight by eight inch baking pan with parchment paper Make sure the paper hangs over the edges for easy removal Lightly coat the paper and sides of the pan with cooking spray so nothing sticks
- Melt the Chocolate and Milk:
- In a large microwave safe bowl combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk Heat on medium power in one minute bursts Stir with a fork after each round to make sure all chips melt evenly Stop when the mixture is smooth and glossy This usually takes two or three rounds
- Color and Flavor the Mixture:
- Add pure vanilla extract and a few drops of blue food coloring to the melted mixture Stir well until the color is evenly distributed Adjust the shade to your liking Go slow with the food coloring so you do not overdo it
- Pour and Decorate:
- Transfer the fudge mixture into your prepared pan Use a spatula to spread it evenly Tap the pan gently to smooth the top Sprinkle your favorite festive sprinkles over the surface pressing slightly so they stay put
- Chill and Slice:
- Refrigerate the pan for about three hours or until the fudge feels firm to the touch To serve lift out the parchment and cut the fudge into sixteen neat squares Wipe the knife between cuts for tidy edges

The blue food coloring always delights little ones reminding me of a Frozen themed party where the kids screamed with excitement My favorite touch is using pastel blue sprinkles for an extra wintry flair
Storage Tips
Store squares in an airtight container Use layers of parchment between pieces to prevent sticking The fudge keeps well in the fridge for a full week or stash in the freezer for longer storage Just let it sit at room temperature for twenty minutes before serving if frozen
Ingredient Substitutions
Switch white chocolate chips for a high quality chopped white chocolate bar for even richer flavor If you do not want to use food coloring leave it out for pure snowy fudge You can swap vanilla for almond extract for a subtle twist
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into shapes with cookie cutters for a themed party presentation Serve alongside a platter of fresh berries or tiny meringue kisses for more fun textures For winter birthdays I love pairing a few pieces with mugs of hot cocoa
