Equipment
- 8x8 Pan
- Medium Microwave-Safe Mixing Bowl
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring Cups
Ingredients
- 1 16-Ounce Can White Frosting
- 10 Ounces White Chocolate Chips
- ½ Cup Sweetened Shredded Coconut
- ½ Teaspoon Coconut Extract
Instructions
- Line your 8x8 pan with parchment paper. Do not use nonstick spray.
- Place the chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, pausing every 30 seconds to stir the chips, even if they haven’t melted yet. This keeps them from overcooking.
- Once the chocolate chips are nice and smooth when stirred, remove the lid and foil from the frosting and microwave on high for 1 minute. No need to pause and stir this one.
- Place the coconut extract in the melted frosting and stir gently.
- Pour the frosting mixture into the melted chocolate and add the shredded coconut. Stir vigorously until combined.
- Pour into the prepared pan and place in the fridge for 4 hours or until the fudge is set
- Slice into 1-inch pieces, or whatever size is desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Keep your fudge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer. Let it warm slightly before serving for the best texture.
Watch for Foil Pieces: Double-check your frosting can for any bits of foil before microwaving to avoid sparks.
Proper Mixing: Always add the coconut extract to the frosting first, as adding it to the chocolate could cause it to seize.
Adjust for Coconut Lovers: Feel free to increase the shredded coconut or extract, but be mindful that too much can dry out the fudge. Stick to a total of 1 cup of coconut.
Use Parchment Paper: Cooking spray is not needed at any point in the recipe. Do not skip parchment paper to use cooking spray; it doesn’t work.
Easy Substitutions And Additions:
- Different Flavors: Swap coconut extract with vanilla or almond extract for a new flavor twist.
- Mix-ins: Stir in chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even mini marshmallows to add some texture.
- Darker Chocolate: Prefer a richer flavor? Substitute white chocolate with dark or milk chocolate chips.
