Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups of high-quality white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (or ghee for authentic touch)
  • 1/2 teaspoon rose water
  • 1/4 teaspoon rose extract
  • 2 tablespoons gulkand (rose petal preserve)
  • 1 tablespoon dried edible rose petals, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios, plus extra for garnish
  • A pinch of pink Himalayan salt
  • Optional: 2-3 drops of natural pink food coloring

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Grease an 8×8 inch square pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to help with easy removal of the fudge later.
  2. Crush Rose Petals: In a small bowl, gently crush the dried rose petals into smaller pieces without pulverizing them entirely to release their aroma.
  3. Melt Main Ingredients: Using a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and butter or ghee. Stir constantly to ensure everything melts smoothly without burning.
  4. Add Flavors: Once smooth and melted, remove the pan from heat. Stir in rose water, rose extract, gulkand, crushed rose petals, and a pinch of pink Himalayan salt until fully incorporated.
  5. Color the Mixture: If desired, add 2-3 drops of natural pink food coloring and stir until the mixture has an even, vibrant pink hue.
  6. Pour and Spread: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread it out.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the top and gently press them into the fudge using the back of a spoon.
  8. Final Garnish: Scatter extra dried rose petals on top for a beautiful and fragrant finish.
  9. Set the Fudge: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the fudge sets firm.
  10. Remove from Pan: Lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang.
  11. Cut and Serve: With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the fudge into 24 squares or desired shapes and serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
  • Gulkand is a rose petal preserve commonly found in Indian grocery stores; it adds authentic sweetness and aroma.
  • Be careful not to overheat the mixture to avoid burning the chocolate or condensed milk.
  • Pink Himalayan salt adds a unique subtle salty contrast—do not omit.
  • Optional natural pink food coloring enhances the visual appeal, but the fudge is naturally tinted from rose ingredients.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer texture.
