Neapolitan Fudge

If you like Neapolitan ice cream, you will devour my fudge version of the vanilla, strawberry and chocolate favorite. It makes a great addition to any Christmas candy platter, but is equally well received any time of year.

Ingredients: 

• 1-1/2 teaspoons butter

• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

• 3 cups confectioners' sugar

• 16 ounces milk chocolate, melted and cooled

• VANILLA LAYER:

Directions: 

1. Line a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan with foil and grease the foil with butter; set aside. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Beat in the melted milk chocolate. Spread into prepared pan. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
2. For vanilla layer, in a large bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Beat in melted white chocolate and vanilla. Spread over chocolate layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
