A delightful Halloween-themed fudge recipe with a creamy texture and festive colors.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Add the sugar in small portions to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth mixture.
Mix in the melted white chocolate, vanilla extract, and orange food coloring until the mixture is evenly colored.
Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl for even mixing.
Fold in the chopped pecans gently to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
Avoid overmixing to maintain the texture of the pecans.
Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil and spread the mixture evenly into the pan.
Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth the surface.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour or until the fudge is firm.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap to prevent the fudge from absorbing fridge odors.
Once firm, remove the fudge from the pan using the foil and cut it into squares for serving.
For clean cuts, warm the knife slightly before slicing.
Serve the fudge squares on a festive plate and enjoy your Halloween treat!
Decorate the plate with Halloween-themed items for added flair.
