Creamsicle Fudge

If you love creamy vanilla and sweet, citrusy orange, this Creamsicle Fudge is about to be your new favorite treat! It’s smooth, melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and tastes just like those classic orange creamsicle popsicles—but in fudge form.

The best part? No baking, no stress—just mix, swirl, and chill!

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)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp orange extract
½ tsp orange zest (plus more for garnish)
½ cup mini marshmallows
A few drops of orange food coloring
¼ tsp salt

Pro Tips

Use fresh orange zest! It makes the citrus flavor pop.
Don’t skip the food coloring. Just a little makes the orange swirls look like a real creamsicle.
Melt the chocolate slowly. White chocolate burns fast—use low heat and stir constantly.
Let it set completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting for perfect slices.
Swirl, don’t mix. Gently fold in the orange layer for that beautiful creamsicle swirl effect.
