Melt the butter, condensed milk, light cream, and cream centers in a pan over low heat, stirring continuously. When dragging a spatula through, wait until you see the bottom of the pot, about 10 minutes.
When the fudge is ready, remove it from the stovetop, mix it in the vanilla extract, and spread it onto a greased plate. Let cool to room temperature or in the refrigerator before rolling them into balls.* Rub a bit of unsalted butter on your hands.
