Description
Mint chocolate chip fudge is a rich and creamy treat that blends the refreshing flavor of mint with sweet white chocolate and semi-sweet mini chocolate chips. Inspired by the classic ice cream flavor, this easy no-bake dessert is perfect for the holidays or any time you’re craving something minty and sweet.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon peppermint extract (or 1 1/2 teaspoons mint extract)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 drops gel-based green food coloring
- 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the mini chocolate chips in the freezer to chill while preparing the fudge base.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, for a total of 1 1/2 minutes.
- Stir the mixture until the white chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add peppermint extract, vanilla extract, and green food coloring. Stir until the color is uniform.
- Set the fudge mixture aside and stir every 5 minutes until it reaches room temperature (about 20 minutes). It may crust on top, but will smooth out with stirring.
- When the mixture is completely cool, fold in most of the chilled mini chocolate chips, reserving a couple tablespoons for topping.
- Quickly transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the reserved chips on top.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into pieces and serve.
Notes
- Use gel-based food coloring for vibrant green color without altering the texture.
- Make sure the fudge base is completely cool before adding chocolate chips to prevent melting.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- This recipe makes a great gift or party treat!
