Cherry Blossom Fudge This Cherry Blossom Fudge is a luscious and visually stunning treat that harmoniously blends the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the delightful tartness of maraschino cherries. Its soft pink color adds a festive flair, making it perfect for celebrations or everyday indulgence. Ingredients: 1/2 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries (dried between paper towels for 30 minutes) 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 2 cups sugar 3/4 cup heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons marshmallow cream 1 drop pink food coloring Directions: Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. Place the diced cherries on a plate and pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Stir over medium-high heat until the butter and sugar melt. Bring the mixture to a boil and insert a candy thermometer. Stir frequently while cooking the fudge. When the thermometer reaches 235°F (soft-ball stage), remove the pan from the heat. Carefully stir in the white chocolate chips and marshmallow cream until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Add the pink food coloring and mix until evenly distributed. Gently fold in the chopped cherries, ensuring they are well incorporated. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Allow the fudge to set at room temperature for 3-4 hours. Once set, cut the fudge into 1-inch squares before serving.
