2tbsp (2 g)freeze dried strawberry slices, crumbled into coarse crumbs
Instructions
Line an 8 inch x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Add white baking chips and coconut condensed milk to a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Heat in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula, until mixture is melted and smooth. You do want to stop as soon as your mixture is smooth because you don't want to overmix which will cause the oils in the chocolate to start separating. You can also melt the chocolate mixture on the stove using the double boiler method. Gently fold in the freeze-dried strawberries with a spatula, just until they are evenly distributed.
Working quickly, transfer the mixture into your prepared loaf pan. It is important that you do this right away as soon as the fudge mixture is ready because it will begin to cool and thicken soon after. Use your spatula to smooth and even the surface. If you find that your fudge is getting oily on the surface, you can gently blot the oil with a paper towel. If desired, you can garnish the surface with a little more crumbled strawberries.
Place fudge into the freezer until set (mine took about 20-30 minutes but timing may vary depending on the brand of baking chips or condensed milk). Cut fudge into 1-inch pieces with a sharp knife (if fudge is too firm, let it warm up at room temperature for about 15-30 minutes before cutting). Store uneaten fudge in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Sugar-free white baking chips note 1: I used one (9 oz) bag of Lily's sugar-free white chocolate style baking chips. Please note that 9 oz refers to weight, not volume. Make sure you use sugar-free white baking chips sweetened with erythritol or Stevia. Ones that are sweetened with monkfruit (like ChocZero brand) will not work for this recipe.
Sugar-free white baking chips note 2: I also recommend that you start with a new, unopened bag. White baking chips that are old or have been previously opened and exposed to air do not melt well. Even a new bag of baking chips that was previously opened just a few days ago may have issues melting.
Freeze dried strawberries: You must use freeze dried strawberries and not fresh strawberries which have too much moisture. Freeze dried strawberries are usually found with dried fruit in grocery stores. They can also be purchased online (Amazon | Walmart | Target)*
