Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Mixture

12 oz (340g) white chocolate, chopped
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup powdered sugar

Topping (Optional)

½ cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to make it easy to lift the fudge out after it sets.
Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy to ensure a silky texture in the fudge.
Add Sweetened Condensed Milk and Flavorings: Mix in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar with the beaten cream cheese until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the melted white chocolate into the cheesecake mixture and gently fold until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
Set the Fudge: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
Top with Graham Cracker Crumbs: Sprinkle the optional graham cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the fudge for an added cheesecake crust flavor and texture.
Refrigerate: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Slice into squares using a sharp knife, and enjoy your creamy cheesecake fudge!

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother fudge texture.
If you prefer a richer crunch, you can toast the graham cracker crumbs before sprinkling on top.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week for best freshness.
For easier slicing, warm the knife blade with hot water and dry it before cutting.
This recipe is not gluten-free unless gluten-free graham cracker crumbs are used.
