Simple and quick white chocolate fudge filled with lots of toasted coconut!

Anytime I travel, I sample as much food as I can in the hopes that my favorite recipes can be recreated at home.  My family and I are beach bums at heart; we love to spend as much time near the ocean as possible.  When we aren't burying each other in the sand, we spend time walking around the local shopping areas taking in the sounds and smells of all the restaurants and bakeries.  This past summer we found ourselves walking by one of the best ice cream shops around.  While my kids were making googly eyes over the various ice cream and gelato flavors, I was salivating over all the fudge!

I mean they had every kind of fudge imaginable and they were such thick, huge pieces!  I took one glance at the toasted coconut white chocolate fudge and knew that was the one I was going to try!  Oh my gosh, that fudge!  It was so creamy and rich with flecks of toasted coconut running throughout.  In a word, it was divine.  I couldn't wait to get home and try to make my own version!

The kids and I like to deliver food gifts to our friends and neighbors each Christmas.  Fudge is a such a wonderful thing to make to give away as gifts.  It's easy, quick, can easily be doubled, tripled (or halved if necessary) and it comes in so many different flavors.  This year, the kids and I are giving away tins of this white chocolate fudge.

Before I began making the fudge base, I toasted my coconut.  You can read more about how to toast coconut here.  I started my fudge recipe by combining evaporated milk, sugar and butter which I brought to a boil on my  GE Cafe™ Series cooktop.  The specialized burners on this cooktop were exactly what I needed to cook my fudge at just the right temperature (234 degrees). Plus it looks so sleek, modern and professional.  If the burners on the GE Cafe™ Series cooktop took my fudge to a perfect 234 degrees, imagine how it can elevate all your sears, soups and sauces! It's impossible to not fall in love with this series of appliances.  They are easy to use and designed to help the professional chef to the aspiring home cook turn out food with maximum flavor.

 

While this is off the subject of appliances, if you do not own a candy thermometer, I highly suggest you get one.  They are not that expensive and they can be found right in your grocery store.  Once the fudge comes to the perfect temperature, I removed it from the heat, whisked in the remaining ingredients and then poured out my mixture into a parchment lined square baking pan.

I placed my fudge in the refrigerator to set before cutting into squares.  The squares are thick, so be sure to cut them into small pieces; a little bit will go a long way.  Alternatively, if you like thinner squares of fudge, you can use a 9 x13 inch pan instead.

The holidays are here, and this toasted coconut white chocolate fudge will make gift giving easy!
