Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 397 g condensed milk (one tin)
  • 600 g white chocolate, chopped
  • 3 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix-ins and Toppings

  • Gingerbread men biscuits, chopped (about 100 g)
  • Christmas sprinkles (about 2 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tin: Line a 9-inch square baking tin with parchment paper. This size ensures a nice fudge depth that holds the gingerbread inclusions well.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a heavy-based pan over low heat, combine the chopped white chocolate, condensed milk, vanilla extract, ground ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir frequently to prevent the chocolate from burning and to achieve a smooth, combined mixture.
  3. Add Gingerbread Pieces: Stir in three-quarters of the chopped gingerbread men quickly to evenly distribute them throughout the fudge mixture.
  4. Pour and Smooth: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.
  5. Top and Press: Sprinkle the remaining chopped gingerbread men evenly over the fudge, then add Christmas sprinkles. Gently press these toppings into the surface of the fudge to help them set firmly.
  6. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 to 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set firmly.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once set, remove the fudge from the tin using the parchment paper, cut into squares. If the fudge is still slightly soft, return the cut pieces to the fridge for an additional couple of hours before serving. Enjoy your festive Gingerbread Fudge!

Notes

  • Use a heavy-based pan to avoid scorching the chocolate.
  • Ensure all ingredients are combined at low heat and stirred constantly for silky smooth fudge.
  • You can substitute Christmas sprinkles with chopped nuts or white chocolate curls for a different look.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to two weeks.
  • Allow fudge to come to room temperature a few minutes before serving for a softer texture.
