1 cup diced canned pineapple (drained)
1/2 cup maraschino cherries (halved)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Melt the Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.
- Add Flavor and Texture: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the pineapple pudding mix, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully combined and slightly thickened.
- Fold in the Fruits: Gently fold in the diced pineapple and maraschino cherries to evenly distribute throughout the fudge.
- Pour and Set: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Add extra pineapple pieces and cherry halves on top for decoration, pressing them lightly into the fudge.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm. Lift out using the parchment paper and cut into small squares. Enjoy!
