These creamy watermelon fudge bites feature refreshing marbled swirls of real watermelon puree combined with a smooth white chocolate fudge base, perfect for summer gatherings and sweet treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz white chocolate chips (recommended: Ghirardelli)
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup fresh watermelon, pureed and strained
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional)
  • Optional: a few drops of pink or red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Remove seeds from watermelon and blend 1 cup until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove excess liquid.
  3. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt together white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and softened butter, stirring constantly until smooth (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. Fold in powdered sugar if desired for extra sweetness.
  5. Pour half the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of watermelon puree over the fudge, then pour the remaining fudge mixture on top.
  6. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the mixtures to create marbled patterns without overmixing.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm. Alternatively, freeze for 2 hours but watch to avoid freezing solid.
  8. Lift fudge from pan using parchment overhang and cut into 1-inch squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Use low heat to melt chocolate to avoid graininess. Strain watermelon puree well to prevent soggy fudge. Swirl gently to maintain marbled effect. Chill fudge thoroughly for best texture. Warm knife in hot water for clean cuts. Vegan substitutions include dairy-free white chocolate, coconut condensed milk, and vegan butter.
