Orange Creamsicle Fudge Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- Orange gel food coloring
INGREDIENT PRO TIPS
COLORING: You could also use yellow and red food coloring if you don’t have orange on hand.
CHOCOLATE: If you’re using white confectionery coating chips, (no cocoa butter listed in the ingredients) use 12 ounces. If using pure white chocolate (with cocoa butter listed in the ingredients), use 15 ounces.
FLAVOR: If you love orange, you can definitely add a little more orange extract for an extra burst of that fresh, citrus flavor.
How to Make Orange Creamsicle Fudge
START: Line an 8×8 pan with foil. Spray with nonstick spray.
STEP ONE: In a medium-size saucepan over low heat melt the white chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk and the butter until smooth and creamy.
STEP TWO: Add the 1 teaspoon of orange extract and taste and adjust if you want more orange flavor.
STEP THREE: Remove 1 cup of the mixture to a medium bowl. This will remain white.
STEP FOUR: To the fudge remaining in the pan add the food coloring to desired orange color. I used Wilton gel yellow and red.
PRO TIP: If using red and yellow food coloring start with adding the yellow food coloring and then add a little bit of red at a time and adjust until desired orange color. Red can overtake easily if you start with it!
STEP FIVE: Pour the orange fudge into the prepared pan and level it out.
STEP SIX: Drop the white fudge by spoonfuls in a random pattern onto the orange fudge.
STEP SEVEN: Using a knife or wooden skewer make swirl patterns.
STEP EIGHT: Refrigerate uncovered for 3-4 hours until set.
STEP NINE: Remove the fudge from the pan and peel the foil back. Cut into squares to serve!
Storing Orange Creamsicle Fudge
I suggest keeping this fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.

You say to divide the sweetened condensed milk, but it doesn’t say if you put it all in or what
.
That was kind of confusing, I’m sorry. I just updated so hopefully it makes more sense now 🙂 Enjoy!
a definite 5 for me I adjusted for more orange flavor and doubled the recipe for extra thick fudge. I sell to local country stores. Amazing … a dreamsicle! Elissa.e
when I made this fudege, it wouldn’t set. what did I do wrong ?
Usually, if it doesn’t set, it’s because it wasn’t hot enough when making.
Do you heat it to soft ball stage at any point? The only heating directions is on low heat.
Nope, this one is a little different. If you follow the recipe, it should turn out perfect for you! Enjoy 🙂
I wonder a brand of extract you are using for these sweet treats. I need a pepperment , a orangee, a sherry and a limon.. Can help please….
I typically use McCormick or store brand! Enjoy 🙂
