‘m a major sucker for sweet treats. If I had to pick my favorite sweets, cheesecake and fudge would be absolutely in my top 5! So, combining the two to create the best of both worlds — the taste of cheesecake in the texture of fudge — is a dream recipe! I swirled my fudge with a yummy Apricot Raspberry preserves swirled in as my topping of choice.
Apricot Raspberry Cheesecake Fudge
- 1/4 cup Butter
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 5 oz Evaporated Milk
- 3 cups Mini Marshmallows
- 6 oz Cream Cheese
- 12 oz package of White Chocolate Chips
- 2 tsp vanilla
- Bonne Maman Apricot-Raspberry Preserves
Line a 9×9 baking dish with aluminum foil or wax paper.
Combine butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and marshmallows together in a large saucepan on medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil.
Keep the mixture at a full rolling boil until it reaches 234º on a candy thermometer. Be sure you are continuing to stir through this time so the fudge doesn’t scorch.
Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese and chocolate chips until melted.
Add vanilla and mix well. Pour into your prepared pan.
Scoop Bonne Maman Apricot-Raspberry preserves onto the top of the layer of fudge. Then, drag a butter knife in lines back and forth across the fudge and then the other direction up and down repeated until there is a smooth consistency of preserves throughout the fudge with no large clumps.
Cool at room temperature to harden then cut, serve and enjoy!

The Apricot-Raspberry preserves by Bonne Maman give a delicious flavor to the fudge. They have a lot of preserve flavors to choose from, so you could mix up this recipe with different flavors, but we really loved the Apricot-Raspberry flavor both on sandwiches and in the fudge.
