If you love rich, creamy cheesecake and smooth, melt-in-your-mouth fudge, this Cheesecake Fudge is going to be your new favorite treat! It’s got that tangy, sweet cheesecake flavor with a hint of vanilla and a buttery graham cracker topping for that classic crust feel.
No baking, no water bath—just melt, mix, and chill.
Let’s do this!
What You’ll Need
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed graham crackers (plus more for topping)
- ¼ tsp salt
Pro Tips
- Use full-fat cream cheese! It makes the fudge extra rich and creamy.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate. White chocolate burns quickly, so melt it slowly over low heat.
- Let it set completely. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting for that perfect cheesecake texture.
- Crush the graham crackers into small chunks. You want texture, not dust.
- Want a swirl? Add a spoonful of strawberry or raspberry jam before swirling for a fruity twist!
Tools You’ll Need
- Medium saucepan
- Spatula
- 8×8-inch baking dish
- Parchment paper
- Knife for cutting
Substitutions & Variations
- Dairy-free option: Use dairy-free white chocolate and coconut condensed milk, plus dairy-free cream cheese.
- Extra cheesecake flavor: Add ½ tsp lemon juice to brighten the taste.
- Crunchy version: Stir in crushed Oreos or shortbread cookies instead of graham crackers.
- Sweeter version: Drizzle caramel or melted white chocolate on top before chilling.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly until smooth.
