What is funfetti fudge made of?

This birthday cake fudge recipe is made with only 7 ingredients:

  • White chocolate chips: You can use any type of white chocolate. If you would like to make vegan fudge, make sure you use dairy-free white chocolate chips. If you are not vegan, you can use regular white chocolate.
  • Sweetened condensed coconut milk: This is a dairy-free alternative to sweetened condensed milk. It’s sweet and creamy like the original, but made with coconut milk instead. I love and recommend the Nature’s Charm brand!
  • Cake mix: Use only the dry mix, not the prepared batter. You can use yellow cake mix, white cake mix, or even funfetti cake mix.
  • Rainbow sprinkles: This white chocolate fudge is decorated with sprinkles. It also creates a festive funfetti appearance.
  • Vanilla extract: This creates a sweeter, richer vanilla flavor.
  • Almond extract: This sweet extract helps create a cake batter flavor.
  • Salt: Salt balances all of the other ingredients.

How to make cake batter fudge with white chocolate chips

For the full ingredient measurements and step-by-step instructions, scroll down to view the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

Step 1: Melt white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed coconut milk

First, line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.

Then, warm a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sweetened condensed coconut milk and white chocolate chips. Mix together until completely melted. Be careful not to burn the white chocolate. Note: You could use a microwave for this step, but I highly recommend using a saucepan instead.

Next, reduce the heat to low. Add yellow cake mix, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. Whisk together until evenly melted and combined.
