Whip up this Patriotic White Chocolate Fudge with simple ingredients in about 10 minutes and add a festive touch to your 4th of July Dessert.

4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, right behind Christmas. I’m not really sure why though, I think it’s because of the traditions we have. Our town holds a huge Parade every year and the Governor even names our city the “Capital for the Day.” And there are the Picnics and Potlucks that are always fun, and ending the day with spectacular Fireworks is always memorable.

For a few years now, we have been talking about going on vacation over the Fourth of July Holiday, but somehow we just keep coming back to staying home and enjoying our traditional day. One of the traditions that I love is baking fun Red, White and Blue Desserts, and this Patriotic White Chocolate Fudge is easy to make and goes together in a snap.

Fudge, in my opinion, can be really rich and sweet. So I always make mine with Truvia Baking Blend. It’s a sugar substitute blend of zero-calorie Truvia natural sweetener and sugar then packaged in a product that’s designed for easy, at-home baking. It also can be substituted for sugar in any recipe by simply using half as much Truvia Baking Blend as you would sugar.

I first used the Truvia Baking Blend in the Cotton Candy Fudge I shared last Summer, and then in the Cherry Vanilla Fudge. The best thing about this recipe, besides being really easy, is that you can easily change the flavors and colors to whatever holiday or special occasion you are baking for.

If you want to use regular sugar, you need to double the amount in the recipe. So this recipe calls for 1/2 cup Truvia, you will need 1 cup of sugar.

Whip up this Patriotic White Chocolate Fudge with simple ingredients in about 10 minutes and add a festive touch to your 4th of July Dessert.

To make the Red, White and Blue Fudge, you will need to start with the basic White Chocolate Fudge recipe – a mixture of Truvia Baking Blend, butter, heavy cream and salt is cooked on the stovetop. Then the hot mixture is poured over Marshmallow Fluff and White Chocolate Chips, and mixed until smooth. Then divide the mixture into 3 bowls and use gel paste coloring to get the red and blue.

After adding the blue fudge mixture to the pan and topping it with white, I decided it would be a little easier and look pretty cool to just swirl the colors together. After all 3 colors were added to the pan, run an offset spatula under hot water, shake off the excess water and swirl the fudge by run the spatula back and forth through the fudge several times each way. Then a few sprinkles to add a little fun to this 4th of July Dessert.

    Why can’t I print this? I’m sorry, but I leave sites if I can’t print the recipe. In this day and age this should not happen.

    1. Hi Debra, thank you for bringing this to my attention. We recently had a site design done, and apparently the new recipe card was not updated.
      You can print the recipes now. Thanks again!

      Thanks Jennifer! I will check it out : )

  2. This looks perfect! I always have a problem with my white chocolate seizing when I make fudge or add food coloring to it. Hopefully I’ll have better luck with this one. Thanks for the recipe!

  3. This looks yummy! Do you know how many calories are in a serving size and how big is a serving?

    1. Hi Kim, I usually cut the pieces of fudge about 1 inch square. I have no idea how many calories there are, but I do know there are less if you use Truvia.
      Happy Baking!

    This looks so yummy! My daughter-in-law loves fudge. Question: If using real sugar is the equivalent amount the same as the truvia baking blend? Thanks so much, I just love your site, all your recipes and decorating ideas! Have a blessed day!

    1. Hi Christine, real sugar is twice the amount as Truvia. So this recipe would use 1 cup sugar.
      So excited you like Hoosier Homemade, thanks so much!
