Ingredients You’ll Need

• 12 oz bag of white chocolate chips (or white candy melts)

Optional:

• Sprinkles or heart décor for a Valentine’s touch (not required)

That’s it! Few ingredients, big flavor.

Ingredient Notes and Variations

Most canned strawberry frostings work well, and white chocolate chips are easy to melt in the microwave. If you want a slightly more uniform color or smoother texture, strawberry-flavored candy melts are another great option.

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

You’ll need only a handful of tools:

• An 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan
• Parchment paper or aluminum foil
• Microwave-safe bowl
• Mixing spoon or silicone spatula

No candy thermometer or stovetop required — just microwave melting and a little stirring!

Step-by-Step Preparation: How to Make 2-Ingredient Strawberry Fudge

Step 1: Line your baking pan with parchment paper or foil for easy removal later.

Step 2: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 3: Add the strawberry frosting to the melted white chocolate and stir until everything is completely combined.

Step 4: Pour the mixture into your prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 5: Add optional sprinkles or décor if desired.

Step 6: Refrigerate until fully set — typically a couple of hours.

Step 7: Cut into squares or fun shapes and serve chilled.

Pro Tips for the Best Strawberry Fudge

For clean, neat slices, warm your knife slightly before cutting — it glides through smoothly. Keeping scrap foil or parchment under the fudge helps lift it out without breaking. If refrigerating overnight, store covered to keep the fudge from drying out.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don’t skip stirring the chocolate between microwave intervals — this prevents burning and ensures a glossy melt. Also, allow enough chill time; cutting too soon can cause the fudge to crumble. Using frosting with chunks (like fruit pieces) may alter texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this strawberry fudge as part of a holiday dessert board alongside fruit or alongside other homemade treats like Apple Fritter Donuts for a sweet celebration spread. It also pairs beautifully with a warm beverage for a cozy night in.

Creative Presentation Ideas

Cut the fudge into tiny heart shapes for Valentine’s Day parties, or stack layers in a clear dish for visual appeal. For gift giving, wrap individual pieces in decorative parchment and tie with string.

Flavor Variations and Add-Ins

While this recipe is classic in simplicity, you can add crushed freeze-dried strawberries for an extra fruity kick, or swirl in a bit of vanilla frosting for layered color contrast. Heart sprinkles or sugar decorations give it extra holiday flair.

How to Store and Reheat

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Because it’s a no-bake chilled dessert, there’s no reheating — just slice and enjoy straight from the fridge.

Make-Ahead Tips

You can prepare the fudge a day before serving to save time on party day. It holds well chilled and can even be made up to a week ahead, so you’re ready whenever guests arrive.
