Equipment

  • 8Ă—8 inch square baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Medium saucepan
  • Silicone spatula or wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Small bowl (for crust mixture)
  • Microwave-safe bowl (optional, for melting butter or drizzle)
  • Sharp knife (for slicing)

Ingredients

Fudge Layer

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon banana extract
  • ÂĽ teaspoon salt
  • Optional: a few drops yellow food coloring for a soft banana-cream hue

“Pie Crust” Topping

  • Âľ cup crushed vanilla wafers
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Optional Garnish

  • White chocolate drizzle
  • Extra vanilla wafer crumbs

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix crushed vanilla wafers with melted butter until evenly coated. Press lightly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust layer.
  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
  • Stir constantly until fully melted, smooth, and glossy. Do not overheat.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, banana extract, salt, and food coloring (if using).
  • Pour fudge mixture evenly over the vanilla wafer crust. Smooth the top.
  • Sprinkle with extra wafer crumbs or drizzle with white chocolate if desired.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until fully set.
  • Lift out using parchment, slice into squares, and serve.

Notes

  • Low heat is essential: White chocolate burns easily. Keep the heat low and stir constantly for a silky-smooth fudge.
  • Banana flavor control: Start with 1 teaspoon banana extract and adjust to taste. Banana flavor intensifies as the fudge chills.
  • Best texture: Let the fudge sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before slicing for clean, creamy squares.
  • Crust option: The vanilla wafer layer adds a pie-like bite, but you can skip it and sprinkle crumbs on top instead if preferred.
  • Color is optional: A small drop of yellow food coloring enhances the banana cream look but doesn’t affect flavor.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  • Freezing: Fudge freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
  • Serving tip: This fudge pairs perfectly with coffee, milk, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra dessert vibes.

🍌 Fun Flavor Variations

  • Banana Pudding Fudge: Add mini marshmallows on top before chilling
  • Chocolate Banana: Swirl melted milk chocolate into the top
  • Extra Pie Vibes: Add a thin layer of whipped topping just before serving (not for storage)
