Cheesecake Fudge

Millie Pham

If you love rich, creamy cheesecake and smooth, melt-in-your-mouth fudge, this Cheesecake Fudge is going to be your new favorite treat! It’s got that tangy, sweet cheesecake flavor with a hint of vanilla and a buttery graham cracker topping for that classic crust feel.

No baking, no water bath—just melt, mix, and chill.

Let’s do this!

What You’ll Need

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup crushed graham crackers (plus more for topping)
  • ¼ tsp salt

Pro Tips

  1. Use full-fat cream cheese! It makes the fudge extra rich and creamy.
  2. Don’t overheat the chocolate. White chocolate burns quickly, so melt it slowly over low heat.
  3. Let it set completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting for that perfect cheesecake texture.
  4. Crush the graham crackers into small chunks. You want texture, not dust.
  5. Want a swirl? Add a spoonful of strawberry or raspberry jam before swirling for a fruity twist!

Tools You’ll Need

  • Medium saucepan
  • Spatula
  • 8×8-inch baking dish
  • Parchment paper
  • Knife for cutting

Substitutions & Variations

  • Dairy-free option: Use dairy-free white chocolate and coconut condensed milk, plus dairy-free cream cheese.
  • Extra cheesecake flavor: Add ½ tsp lemon juice to brighten the taste.
  • Crunchy version: Stir in crushed Oreos or shortbread cookies instead of graham crackers.
  • Sweeter version: Drizzle caramel or melted white chocolate on top before chilling.

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly until smooth.
