Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Mixture

12 oz (340g) white chocolate, chopped
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup powdered sugar

Topping (Optional)

½ cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to help lift out the fudge easily once set.
Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped white chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in 20-30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each until completely smooth and free of lumps.
Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy without lumps.
Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar to the cream cheese. Continue beating until all ingredients are fully combined into a homogenous mixture.
Combine with Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture and gently fold or beat until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Set the Fudge: Pour the prepared fudge mixture into the lined baking dish, spreading and smoothing out the top evenly with a spatula.
Add the Topping (Optional): Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly across the top to mimic a cheesecake crust and add subtle texture.
Chill Until Firm: Refrigerate the baking dish for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is completely set and firm to the touch.
Slice and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper edges to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut into bite-sized squares and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

This cheesecake fudge is best kept refrigerated to maintain its firm texture.
Use good quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture.
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
For a festive twist, add colored sprinkles or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate on top before chilling.
Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature before mixing for a smoother mixture.
