Ingredients
  

For the Fudge Base:

  • 2 cups 12 oz high-quality white chocolate chips
  • 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ½ cup mashed ripe banana about 1 medium-large banana
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon banana extract optional, for enhanced banana flavor
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

Optional Toppings (Choose Your Favorite):

  • ⅓ cup crushed vanilla wafers
  • ¼ cup banana chips lightly crushed
  • 2 tablespoons white chocolate melted (for drizzling)
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce for drizzling
  • ¼ cup toasted coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • First, line your 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra hanging over the sides to help you lift the fudge out later. This makes cleanup super easy too!
  • Next, melt your white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Keep stirring the whole time until everything is completely smooth. This usually takes about 5 minutes, and it's important to use low heat so the white chocolate doesn't burn.
  • When everything is melted, take the pan off the heat and immediately stir in your mashed banana, vanilla extract, banana extract (if you're using it), and salt. Mix everything together until it's completely smooth with no banana lumps. The mixture will be thick but still easy to pour.
  • Pour all of this into your prepared pan and use your spatula to spread it evenly. While it's still warm, sprinkle your favorite toppings over the top. You can gently press them into the surface so they stick well.
  • Finally, refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours until it's completely firm. Once it's set, lift it out using the parchment paper, cut it into squares, and enjoy! For the neatest pieces, wipe your knife clean between cuts.
