Prepare an 8x8-inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving extra overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the white chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 7-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the orange zest, orange extract, and optional orange food coloring for a vibrant finish.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely, about 2-3 hours.
Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang. Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar for garnish, if desired.
Cut into 24 bite-sized squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
