Ingredients
- 400 g 14oz white chocolate, chopped
- 1 can 397g sweetened condensed milk
- 100 g 3.5oz unsalted butter
- 100 g 3.5oz ground almonds
- 100 g 3.5oz dried cherries, chopped
- 1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle the toasted flaked almonds over the top for added texture and flavor.
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is set.
- Once set, remove the fudge from the refrigerator and lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice it into small squares or rectangles.
- Serve the Cherry Bakewell Fudge at room temperature and enjoy the delicious combination of sweet white chocolate, tart cherries, and nutty almonds.
Notes
- Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
