# What You Need:
→ Dairy
01 - 2 cups white chocolate chips
02 - 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
03 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cubed

# How To Make:
01 - Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang on opposite sides for easy removal later.

03 - Remove saucepan from heat. Whisk in heavy cream, Irish cream coffee creamer, vanilla extract, espresso powder, powdered sugar, and salt until mixture is silky and fully incorporated.
04 - Pour mixture into prepared pan, using a spatula to spread evenly and smooth the top surface.

06 - Lift fudge from pan using parchment overhang. Cut into 36 equal squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The silky texture rivals any confectionery shop fudge but comes together in minutes
- Perfect for gatherings where not everyone drinks alcohol but everyone deserves something indulgent
02 -
- Resist the urge to turn up the heat, high temperature causes white chocolate to seize and turn grainy
- The espresso powder does not make this taste like coffee, it simply enhances the Irish cream notes
03 -
- A silicone spatula works better than wooden spoons for scraping every last bit of melted chocolate from the pan
- If your kitchen is particularly warm, let the fudge set at room temperature for 30 minutes before refrigerating to prevent condensation
