FAQs

1. Can I use homemade frosting?

Yes, as long as it’s thick and similar in texture to store-bought frosting.

2. What if I don’t have a microwave?

You can melt the white chocolate chips on the stovetop using a double boiler.

3. Can I add food coloring?

The frosting already provides a pink color, but you can add a few drops of gel food coloring for a more vibrant hue.

4. Can I use other types of chocolate?

Yes, but white chocolate complements the strawberry flavor best. Milk or dark chocolate will change the flavor profile.

5. Can I make this dairy-free?

Use dairy-free white chocolate chips and vegan frosting for a dairy-free version.

6. Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely! Use a 9×13-inch pan if doubling the recipe.

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

Lining the pan with parchment paper ensures easy removal and prevents sticking.

8. What’s the best way to cut the fudge?

Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wiped dry for clean, even cuts.

9. Is this fudge shelf-stable?

Due to the frosting, it’s best stored in the refrigerator.

Yes, stir in chopped nuts, dried fruit, or mini marshmallows before pouring the mixture into the pan.
