Ingredients and Substitutions
This vegan Funfetti White Chocolate Fudge is made with 7 allergy-safe ingredients that are gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free, so everyone can enjoy it. I’ve included my top tips and substitutions to ensure perfect fudge every time. Check out my FAQ for even more recipe ideas and variations!
White Chocolate Chips: Make sure they are dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, and gluten-free. I recommend Enjoy Life; they melt beautifully and give a creamy texture without compromising flavour. Pro tip: Chop larger chips slightly if you want a smoother melt.
Condensed Milk: I use a 320 ml can of sweetened condensed oat milk. If your can is larger, increase the icing sugar slightly to keep the fudge from being too soft. If it’s smaller, reduce the sugar a bit. You can also sub with sweetened condensed coconut milk – both options are naturally gluten-free and keep the fudge creamy.
Plant-Based Butter: I recommend unsalted butter for balanced sweetness, but if you like a richer, slightly salty fudge, swap to salted or add 1 tsp salt. This helps cut the sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavour. Tip from experience: butter quality affects texture – stick with a high-fat, good-quality block-based plant-based butter. I personally avoid the tub-style butters as they tend to have a higher water content.
Flavouring: I use vanilla extract and imitation almond extract to capture that classic birthday-cake Funfetti flavour while keeping it nut-free. You can experiment with other extracts like lemon or coconut for seasonal twists or personal flair. This is where you can customize your fudge to suit any occasion.
Icing Sugar: Always sift your icing sugar if it’s lumpy. This ensures the fudge is smooth and silky. If your sugar is clumpy, it can leave little gritty bits in your finished fudge.
Sprinkles: Check the ingredients to make sure they meet your allergy requirements. I recommend using allergy-safe, gluten-free sprinkles. Fold half into the fudge and reserve the rest for the top – they add fun, colourful bursts in every bite.
How to Make Funfetti Fudge
Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s start making this creamy, allergy-friendly funfetti fudge.
Grease and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This keeps everything in place and makes it easier to remove the fudge once it has set. Top Tip: Use binder clips to hold the parchment in place.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the chocolate chips, condensed milk and butter, stirring constantly until fully combined and smooth.
Remove from the heat just as everything is melted – overheating can cause the chocolate to seize and ruin the fudge. Stir in the vanilla and imitation almond extracts.
Gradually stir in the icing sugar. Sifting it first will prevent lumps and keep your fudge silky smooth.
Gently fold in half of the sprinkles, saving the rest for the top, and pour the fudge into the prepared pan. Pro Tip: careful folding prevents colour bleed from the sprinkles.
Use a spatula or wooden spoon to spread the fudge evenly, then add the remaining sprinkles on top.
Place the pan in the fridge to set for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. Loosely cover the pan with foil to prevent any fridge odours from affecting the fudge.
Once set, remove the binder clips and use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan.
Cut the slab of fudge into small squares with a sharp knife and enjoy immediately. Bonus Tip: Run your knife under warm water and wipe between cuts for clean edges every time.
Storage & Gift Ideas
This allergy-friendly Funfetti White Chocolate Fudge stays delicious and creamy when stored properly:
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This keeps the fudge firm but soft enough to enjoy immediately.
- Freezer: You can freeze fudge in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let pieces thaw completely at room temperature before serving.
Pro Tip from experience: Layer squares of fudge between pieces of parchment to prevent sticking, especially if you’re storing in a small container.
Gift-Giving Tip:
This fudge makes a beautiful, festive gift! Cut into squares and place in food-safe bags or small boxes, then tie with ribbon for an easy, colourful treat that’s perfect for birthdays, Valentine’s Day, holidays, or thank-you gifts.

Notes
- Yield: Makes approximately 16 2-inch squares. I recommend cutting with a sharp knife. Wipe the knife between cuts for clean edges.
- Microwave Method: To skip the stovetop, microwave the white chocolate, butter and condensed milk on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth. This usually takes about 2 minutes.
- Condensed Milk: Sweetened condensed oat milk keeps this recipe allergy-friendly. Sweetened condensed coconut milk works equally as well. If your can is larger than 320 ml, add a little extra icing sugar to maintain a firm texture. Sub with regular dairy condensed milk if you do not follow a dairy-free or vegan lifestyle.
- Too Sweet?: Add 1/2 tsp of salt or swap the unsalted butter for salted butter to balance the sweetness.
- Flavour Variations: Vanilla and imitation almond extract give a classic nut-free funfetti cake flavour. Swap extracts, switch the sprinkles for freeze-dried raspberries for a fruity, tangy contrast, or add matcha powder for a unique green tea flavour.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw fully before serving.
