Description
A delicious and creamy banana fudge that is easy to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons banana flavoring
- ½ teaspoon yellow food color gel
- ¾ cup salted sweet cream butter
- ½ cup half and half
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon clear vanilla flavoring
- 3 cups granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1¾ cups white baking chips
- 7 ounces marshmallow fluff
- 2 tablespoons crushed Nilla wafers, optional garnish
Instructions
- Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring it goes up all four sides and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a small glass bowl, combine banana flavoring and yellow food color gel. Stir and set aside.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, half and half, heavy cream, and clear vanilla flavoring. Stir continuously until the butter is melted.
- Add sugar and stir constantly as the mixture simmers for 6-7 minutes. Continue stirring and let it simmer for another 3 minutes before removing it from the heat.
- Add white baking chips, cover the saucepan, and let it rest for 3-4 minutes. Stir until melted.
- Add marshmallow fluff and stir until fully incorporated.
- Mix in the yellow food gel and banana extract until color is uniform.
- Use a spatula to spread the fudge evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle crushed Nilla wafers on top and cover with aluminum foil.
- Let the fudge sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- Once set, lift the fudge out with the parchment paper and cut into 25 pieces. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality ingredients, especially the baking chips and butter.
- Make sure to stir constantly to prevent the mixture from burning.
- The crushed Nilla wafers are optional but add a nice texture.
