If desired, stir in red gel food coloring until the fudge reaches the preferred shade.

08 -
Lift the fudge from the pan using the wax paper edges, cut into squares, and serve chilled.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For best results, use high-quality white chocolate chips and fresh ripe strawberries. Chill champagne prior to mixing to prevent the fudge from becoming runny.
02 -
Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze wrapped pieces tightly in plastic and foil for up to two months.
03 -
A sharp knife wiped between cuts ensures clean, neat squares.
