Ingredients
Scale
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
4 cups (500g) powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 oz (340g) white chocolate, melted
½ cup (50g) graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuit crumbs)
Optional toppings: crushed graham crackers, chocolate drizzle, or fruit preserves
Instructions
Prepare the Pan:
Line an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Mix the Cream Cheese:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add Sugar and Vanilla:
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Incorporate the White Chocolate:
Slowly pour the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, stirring constantly until fully combined.
Assemble the Fudge:
Pour half of the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly over this layer.
Pour the remaining fudge mixture on top and smooth it again.
Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to slice.
Slice and Serve:
Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into small squares and garnish with additional graham cracker crumbs, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or a dollop of fruit preserves if desired.
Notes
For a fruity twist, swirl raspberry or strawberry preserves into the top layer before chilling.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to one month.
