π Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 1 hour
- Yield: 36 squares
Ingredients:
- 1 package (12 ounces) white baking chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1/2 cup flaked coconut, toasted
- 1/2 cup diced dried pineapple
Equipment:
- 8 or 9-inch square baking pan
- Foil
- Medium microwave-safe bowl
- Small cookie sheets
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the Pan Line an 8 or 9-inch square pan with foil, allowing the foil to extend over the edges. This will help in easy removal later. |
| 2 | Melt the White Chips
Place the white baking chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1-2 minutes or until completely melted. Stir every 15 seconds to ensure a smooth consistency. |
| 3 | Prepare the Mix
Set aside 1/4 cup of chopped macadamia nuts for garnish. To the melted white chips, add the remaining chopped nuts, flaked coconut, diced dried pineapple, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut extract. Mix everything together until well combined. This creates the delicious Pina Colada flavor! |
| 4 | Spread in Pan
Spread the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared foil-lined pan. |
| 5 | Add Garnish
Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of chopped macadamia nuts on top of the fudge mixture. This adds a lovely crunch and extra nutty flavor. |
| 6 | Chill
Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the fudge chill for at least 1 hour, or until it is firm to the touch. This helps the fudge to set and makes it easier to cut into perfect squares. |
| 7 | Cut into Squares
Once the fudge is firm, remove it from the pan by lifting the foil edges. Peel off the foil and place the fudge on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the fudge into squares. |
| 8 | Optional Toasting
If you want to add an extra depth of flavor, you can toast the macadamia nuts and coconut. Simply spread them on separate small cookie sheets and bake at 350Β°F for 5 to 8 minutes. Keep an eye on them and stir occasionally until they are light golden brown. This toasting process brings out their nutty and coconutty aromas! |
