Peppermint Fudge (no chocolate) / Call Me PMc

December 21 by 10 Comments
I was inspired to make this Peppermint Fudge while making a frosting the other day. I decided to give it a try and just love the way it turned out. I am not a fan of chocolate and mint, but this is totally different and very easy to make.

Peppermint fudge (no chocolate)


Three Ingredient Peppermint Fudge*
Ingredients:
8 oz cream cheese, room temp
1/2 c Andes Peppermint Crunch baking chips
6 c powdered sugar
Directions:
Line a 8×8 in cake pan or casserole dish with heavy duty aluminium foil allowing the foil to extend over the edge 2 to 3 inches (you’ll use this as handles to pull fudge out of pan). Spray with non-stick spray. In an electric mixer beat cream cheese until soft. Place 1/4 c of the Andes Peppermint Crunch in a zip top bag and crush. Add the 1/4 c crushed candies and the 1/4 c un-crushed candies to the cream cheese. Mix until completely incorporated (the cream cheese should turn a light pink). Turn the mixer to low speed and add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time to the mixer. Combine completely before adding another cup of sugar. The mixture needs to be really stiff and dry(ish). To test, pinch some of the fudge off and roll it into a ball, if it stays in the ball without going flat it’s thick enough. Add more sugar if it’s not this consistency.

*Variations: roll in balls and dip in milk chocolate for Peppermint Truffles.

    Looks yummy, but I really want chocolate! I think it could easily be adapted!
