This 'faux fudge' is ridiculously quick and easy to make - no cooking's involved. The tartness from the cherries & lemon zest offsets the sweetness of the chocolate.
Line an 8" square baking pan with foil or waxed paper, making sure it extends to the top of the pan. Spray lightly with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine and blend together well:
4 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Add: 12 oz. melted white chocolate
1/2 c. dried cherries OR cranberries (I used Montmorency dried cherries from Trader Joe's - they're chewy & tart)
1 teasp. grated lemon peel
(1 c. coarsely chopped walnuts, if desired)
Mix well and spread into prepared pan. Refrigerate for one hour, until firm. Remove fudge from pan by lifting foil. Cut into squares & serve chilled or at room temperature.
