A no-bake, creamy, minty fudge that captures the flavor of a classic Shamrock Shake with a smooth, velvety texture. Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (340 g) white chocolate chips
  • 4 ounces (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (57 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • A few drops green food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler on low heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes with an electric mixer or longer by hand).
  4. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, mixing well after each addition to avoid lumps.
  5. Add the mint extract, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the mixture; adjust mint extract carefully to taste.
  6. Fold the melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture gently until uniform and silky.
  7. If desired, stir in a few drops of green food coloring until the desired shade is reached.
  8. Pour the fudge batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. For quicker setting, freeze for 30-45 minutes but avoid freezing for smooth texture.
  10. Lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and cut into small squares with a sharp knife, cleaning the knife between cuts.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for smooth mixing. Melt white chocolate carefully to avoid burning. Powdered sugar is essential for smooth texture. Adjust mint extract carefully to avoid overpowering flavor. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking. Chill fudge thoroughly for best slicing results. For dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and butter with plant-based alternatives. Variations include chocolate mint swirl, nutty additions, and alcohol infusion.
