Line an 8x8" square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the white chocolate chips with the condensed milk. Do not let it boil
Remove from heat, add the vanilla extract and mix
Pour half of the mixture on the baking pan. Save the rest in the pan and keep it warm
For Pecan Praline
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, mix in the sugars, butter, salt, corn syrup, condensed milk and pecans over medium heat. Insert candy thermometer and cook until the caramel reaches the soft ball stage, around 235 Degrees F. Keep mixing constantly to prevent the mixture from burning
Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract
Assembly:
Pour the pecan praline on top of the white chocolate fudge and top off with the remaining white fudge. If the mixture has hardened simply put it back on medium heat to re-melt it again
Let the fudge set over room temperature for 4-6 hours or overnight
Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
Use a candy thermometer when making the praline. The sugar mixture can burn quickly if the temperature is not controlled.
If your praline becomes too thick before layering, simply place it back over low heat and stir until smooth again.
Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and smooth texture. Cheap chocolate can seize or taste overly sweet.
Work quickly when assembling the layers so the fudge and praline don’t set too early.
Let the fudge set completely at room temperature for clean, sharp slices. Refrigerating too early can affect the texture.
For extra texture, sprinkle additional chopped pecans or praline crumbs on top before setting.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
