Banana Cream Fudge

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups Nilla wafer crumbs (about 35–40 cookies)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Banana Fudge:

• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons butter
• ⅔ cup sweetened condensed milk
• 8 tablespoons instant banana cream pudding mix
• ⅔ cup marshmallow cream

For the Vanilla Fudge:

• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
• ⅓ cup marshmallow cream
• 2–3 crumbled Nilla wafers

Instructions:

1. Prepare the pan and crust: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the Nilla wafer crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove and let cool.
2. Make the banana fudge layer: In a large saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the white chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly until smooth. Add the banana pudding mix and stir for 1–2 minutes to dissolve the powder. Stir in the marshmallow cream until fully incorporated and smooth. Pour the banana fudge over the cooled crust and set aside.
3. Prepare the vanilla fudge layer: In a small saucepan, melt the white chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk over low-medium heat, stirring until smooth. Stir in the marshmallow cream until fully combined. Carefully pour the vanilla fudge over the banana layer and spread evenly.
4. Top and set: Sprinkle the crumbled Nilla wafers over the top of the fudge. Let the fudge set completely at room temperature for 4–5 hours or refrigerate for faster results.
5. Cut and serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment or foil lining. Cut into 1-inch squares and serve or package for gifting.
