Which ingredients do you need for a Fudge Baby Shower Dessert?

To make this red velvet fudge with white chocolate frosting yourself, you require the following ingredients. You can find the correct quantities in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:

• Condensed milk: sweet, thick milk. You can buy this in a can. You'll need 400 grams or 1 ⅓ cup.
• White and milk chocolate: The milk chocolate is used for flavoring the fudge, the white chocolate is used for the frosting.
• Butter: unsalted butter is used for both the fudge as the frosting. Use butter at room temperature, so it's soft, and it's easier to mix it.
• Food coloring: Use food coloring to get the red velvet color. You can also use grounded freeze-dried beet or raspberries.
• Salt: To Balance the flavors.
• Vanilla-extract: To enhance the flavor of the fudge and frosting. If you don't have vanilla-extract, you can also substitute this with a teaspoon of vanilla sugar (for both the frosting and the fudge).
• Cream cheese: take this out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before use, so you can mix it well.
• Confectioner's sugar: For sweetening the frosting. Don't use regular sugar, because it won't dissolve in the frosting and you get a crispy topping.
• Sprinkles: to decorate the red velvet fudge. Any sprinkle will do to decorate.

How do you prepare this sweet treat? A video and a printable recipe can be found at the bottom of this blog.

Step 1: Prepare the fudge. Oil a brownie baking form and put a baking paper on the bottom. Take a saucepan and add the condensed milk and salt. Put on low heat. Break milk chocolate in small parts and add bit by bit while stirring.

When all chocolate is melted, add the butter, vanilla, and food coloring. Mix everything well and take off the heat.

Step 2: Pour the fudge into the baking dish and flatten the top with a spatula. Put in the refrigerator while preparing the frosting.

Step 3: Prepare the white chocolate frosting. Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl that hangs above cooking water (au bain-Marie). Beat the cream cheese until it's airy and then add confectioner's sugar, vanilla, and butter. When everything is mixed well, pour the white chocolate with the cream cheese mixture and mix. Spread the frosting on top of the fudge.

Step 4: Spread sprinkles on top of the frosting and put the baking dish in the refrigerator. Let it stiffen for at least 3 hours. Remove the fudge from the tin and cut the fudge into 25 cubes.
