3 Ingredient Cranberry Fudge
A creamy cranberry flavored fudge that is easy to make and doesn't require a candy thermometer or stove. This fudge needs just 3 ingredients and is a festive treat for the holidays.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (268 g) white baking chips, see note before starting
- 1/2 cup (118 ml/141 g) sweetened full fat condensed milk
- 1/4 cup (32 g) dried cranberries, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Line the bottom of an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Add white baking chips and condensed milk to a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Heat in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula until baking chips are completely melted and the mixture is uniform. Your mixture will be very thick.
- Working quickly, stir in the dried cranberries until they are evenly mixed in. Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan.
- Use a spatula to spread the fudge mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan. If desired, you can use the spatula to make wavy patterns across the surface.
- Place fudge into the freezer until set (about 30 minutes). The fudge is ready when it feels firm to the touch. Bring the fudge to room temperature before cutting with a sharp knife. Store uneaten fudge in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- In the US, white baking chips are commonly referred to as white chocolate chips which is why I use the two terms interchangeably. However, they are not technically white chocolate because they don't contain cocoa butter, so they are always labeled white baking chips or white morsels.
- White baking chips note: White baking chips can be a little more difficult to melt than other types of chocolate chips. I recommend using a premium brand and starting with a new, not-yet-opened bag. Some cheaper brands don't melt well. In addition, if your baking chips are old or were previously opened and exposed to air, they also don't melt well.
- Avoid using dairy-free vanilla baking chips. I have found that ones without dairy don't melt or set well. Enjoy Life brand does not work well.

- Once the fudge mixture is melted and smooth, you want to quickly stir in the cranberries and transfer the mixture to your prepared pan. The fudge starts to thicken very soon after it is done and it will be harder to work with if you let it cool.
