Description

This Pineapple Upside Down Cake Fudge is a deliciously rich and creamy treat combining the flavors of classic pineapple upside down cake with smooth fudge. Featuring white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and a mix of pineapple and maraschino cherries, this no-bake fudge is a perfect dessert for those seeking a fruity and indulgent sweet that sets in the fridge and is easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Fruit

  • ½ cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • 8-10 maraschino cherries, halved and patted dry

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Melt the Fudge Base: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely smooth and melted without burning.
  3. Mix Ingredients: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the instant vanilla pudding mix, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to create a uniform fudge mixture.
  4. Add the Fruit: Gently fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple and the halved, patted-dry maraschino cherries, ensuring even distribution throughout the fudge.
  5. Set the Fudge: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Refrigerate the dish for at least 4 hours or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
  6. Slice & Serve: Once the fudge is fully set, remove it from the refrigerator, lift it out using the parchment paper, slice into 16 squares, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to avoid excess moisture making the fudge too soft.
  • For best results, allow the fudge to chill overnight for a firmer texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
