CHEESECAKE FUDGE
For me, nothing screams holiday season more than a big ol’ platter of fudge. Long are the days of plain chocolate, now is the time for delicious gourmet fudge recipes. This fudge is so easy, but it tastes like you spent all day making it. Only it takes a fraction of the time that a real cheesecake tastes and there are no worries about your cheesecake cracking. Isn’t that what we all worry about…the perfect looking cheesecake? I know I do!
This Cheesecake Fudge is kinda of a cheater method of fudge. It relies on store bought cream cheese frosting, which makes this a no-fail fudge. There are only 4 ingredients for this fudge, 2 for the crust (which you can totally skip, but then you won’t get the full cheesecake experience) and 2 for the actual fudge. And once you learn this cheater method for fudge, then you can play with your favorite frosting flavors.
HOW TO STORE FUDGE
After the fudge is made, it is important to keep it well covered so that it stays soft and creamy. You can safely leave it at room temperature for a few days, or store it well covered in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If you plan to ship it, see my tips on how to ship baked goods for help.
