What’s in 3-ingredient strawberry fudge?
- Strawberry Cake Mix: You need the unprepared mix for this. Now, uncooked cake mix can contain salmonella and e. coli. This tutorial will show you how to bake out the bad stuff before using (cake mix works just like flour)!
- White Chocolate: I recommend bars of baking white chocolate for this. Some brands of white chocolate chips (I’m looking at you, Ghirardelli) will burn instead of melt.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: This brings the sweetness and helps the fudge stick together. Don’t sub this ingredient!

This recipe gets its strawberry flavor from strawberry cake mix, but you can add crushed freeze-dried strawberries or small strawberry pieces for extra flavor and texture if desired.
If the fudge didn’t fully set, it may need a little more time to cool to room temperature. Letting it chill in the pan lined with parchment paper helps create thicker fudge that slices cleanly.
