Ube White Chocolate Fudge - maybe it sounds a little odd, but it's SO good!

A couple months back, I was wandering the aisles of Seafood City, a giant Filipino grocery store in Mississauga.

The place is a *wonderland*, and I feel like I find something new every time we're in there.

It's where I first discovered my love of Calamansi anything, and where I go to stock up on that juice.

Jersey’s Ube Flavoured Sweetened Condensed Creamer

This time, I came across Jersey's Ube flavoured Sweetened Condensed Creamer. I'm a big fan of sweetened condensed milk in general, so I couldn't resist buying some of this to try.

I made the mistake of only buying one can (It's WAY too easy to spend more than you plan to, at that store!), so I left it in the pantry, waiting till I decided on what one thing I wanted to try making with it.

As you know, I've been converting old recipes lately. One of those was my Festive Easy Fudge, which gave me the idea I settled on: Easy Fudge.

Ube White Chocolate Fudge

I decided that white chocolate would be a better base - both in flavour and appearance - than a milk or dark chocolate, and here we are!

It worked spectacularly! It was creamy and satisfying, with a really fun flavour - kind of floral, a little fruity, maybe... with a hint of coconut? Delicious.

A few notes:

1. The Jersey Sweetened Condensed Creamer comes in a few flavours, we've only tried the Ube.

Next time, I'll be picking up the mango and melon flavours to try with this same recipe. I bet it'll be fantastic!

2. I've never seen the creamer anywhere but Seafood City. If you're lucky to live near one, I highly suggest going there!

If not, I'd see if you have any other Filipino grocery stores nearby. I'm usually against using hard to find ingredients for anything on this blog, but

a. this was too much fun not to, and

b. I'm all for encouraging people to visit this store!

3. The recipe doesn't take an entire can of creamer. You have to measure out ¼ cup to NOT use in it - you can store that in the fridge for a week or two.

Drizzle it on pancakes, mix it into coffee or tea, or just eat it with a spoon.

So, my apologies if this one is not doable on account of the ingredients.

If you'd like to try one that's more accessible, I recommend the Festive Fudge linked above, my Easy Orange Cranberry Dark Chocolate Fudge, and/or my Easy Blood Orange Cranberry White Chocolate Fudge.

Alternatively, could always use the recipe with normal sweetened condensed milk, and add 1-2 teaspoon of Ube Extract!

Enjoy!
