How to Make White Chocolate Fondant

In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and light corn syrup.
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the shortening and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the mixture onto a clean, lightly powdered sugar surface. (Use about 1/2 cup powdered sugar initially).
Knead the mixture with lightly powdered hands until it becomes smooth and pliable. Add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, to prevent sticking. (You may need 1/2 to 1 cup total)
Once the fondant is smooth and no longer sticky, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before using. This allows it to firm up nicely.
