Let’s do it!

What You’ll Need

2 cups white chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
½ cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium banana)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp banana extract (optional, but adds extra banana flavor!)
¼ tsp salt
Optional topping: Crushed vanilla wafers, banana chips, or a drizzle of melted white chocolate

Pro Tips

Use very ripe bananas! The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your fudge will be.
Don’t overheat the chocolate. White chocolate burns fast—use low heat and stir constantly.
Let it set completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting for the perfect texture.
Crush your vanilla wafers into small chunks. You want a little crunch, not just crumbs.
Make it extra fancy! Drizzle melted white chocolate or caramel on top for a gourmet touch.

Tools You’ll Need

Medium saucepan
Spatula
8×8-inch baking dish

Substitutions & Variations
