This strawberries and champagne fudge blends creamy white chocolate with fresh strawberry puree and a delicate sparkle of champagne. Each bite melts smoothly on the tongue revealing layers of sweetness and festive flavor. Its simple melt stir chill method makes it a perfect choice for celebrations or gifting, delivering that elegant berry and bubbly combination without fuss.

I first shared this treat at a holiday get together and everyone asked for the recipe. The dreamy texture and hint of fizz make it unforgettable.

Ingredients

  • White chocolate chips: give the fudge its creamy texture and rich sweetness. Choose high quality chips for smooth melting
  • Sweetened condensed milk: helps bind everything together and adds extra creaminess. Look for cans with no dents or cracks for best freshness
  • Champagne: brings a pop of celebratory flavor. Use a dry variety for balanced sweetness and make sure it is chilled so it mixes in evenly
  • Strawberry puree: gives the fudge its fruity kick and natural pink color. Ripe fresh strawberries will give you the best flavor and color
  • A pinch of salt: sharpens all the flavors so nothing gets too sweet. Use fine sea salt if you have it
  • Red food coloring optional: for a bold rosy hue. If using go for gel food color so you only need a drop or two

Instructions

Line the Pan:
Lay wax paper into an 8 inch square pan smoothing it out and letting some paper hang over the edges. This makes it much easier to lift the fudge out later.
Melt the Base:
Add white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to a medium saucepan. Warm the mixture over low heat while stirring nonstop until the chips are melted and everything is glossy and fully blended.
Pour in Champagne:
Add the chilled champagne and carefully stir. The mixture will fizz a bit just keep stirring until it is silky and smooth again.
Add Strawberries and Salt:
Pour in the strawberry puree and sprinkle in a pinch of salt. Mix until the color and texture are uniform with no streaks.
Color if Desired:
For a deeper pink use a few drops of red gel food coloring. Stir until the color looks the way you want.
Set the Fudge:
Pour everything into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Make sure the fudge spreads evenly to all corners.
Chill to Firm:
Slide the pan into your fridge and chill the fudge for at least two hours until it feels firm to the touch.
Slice and Serve:
Lift the fudge out by the wax paper. Place on a board slice into neat squares and serve cold.

Whenever I make this fudge I use extra strawberries and sneak a few for snacking. The champagne note reminds me of my parents anniversary parties when little treats like this would always appear on fancy platters.

Storage Tips

Store fudge squares in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh for up to one week. Layer with more wax paper to avoid sticking. If you want to freeze them wrap the pieces tightly in plastic and then in foil and they will last for about two months.

Ingredient Substitutions

For a nonalcoholic version use sparkling apple cider instead of champagne. The fudge will still have a fun fizz and a lovely fruitiness. You can also try other berries such as raspberries or even blackberries for a twist.

Serving Suggestions

Arrange fudge pieces on a platter with fresh strawberries or chocolate curls for an elegant dessert spread. I love making small boxes for friends as a sweet homemade gift. They are especially beautiful for Valentine's Day bridal showers or birthdays.

Common Recipe Questions

→ What type of chocolate works best?

White chocolate chips offer a creamy, sweet base that perfectly complements the fresh strawberry and champagne flavors.

→ Can fresh strawberries be used?

Yes, fresh strawberries make the best puree, providing natural color and a bright, authentic berry flavor.

→ Is the alcohol content a concern?

Most alcohol evaporates during warming, leaving only a subtle champagne essence. Non-alcoholic alternatives like sparkling juice can be used.

→ How should the fudge be stored?

Store pieces in an airtight container refrigerated for up to one week to maintain freshness and texture.

→ Can the color be intensified?

Adding a few drops of red food coloring during mixing deepens the pink or red color to your liking.
