FAQs

1. Can I use fresh strawberries instead of jam?

No, food coloring is optional and purely for aesthetic purposes.

3. How do I prevent the fudge from sticking to the pan?

Use parchment paper with some overhang for easy lifting and clean edges.

Yes, use dairy-free white chocolate chips and a plant-based condensed milk alternative.

5. What can I use instead of white chocolate chips?

White baking chocolate or almond bark are great substitutes.

6. Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely! Use a 9×13-inch pan instead and adjust the chilling time accordingly.

7. What’s the best way to cut fudge cleanly?

Use a sharp knife warmed with hot water, wiping it clean between cuts.

8. Can I add toppings?

Yes, shredded coconut, sprinkles, or chopped nuts work wonderfully.
