Ingredients
Scale
Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
White Chocolate Chips
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
Key Lime Juice
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice
Lime Zest
- 2 tablespoons lime zest
Butter
- 1/4 cup butter
Instructions
- Prepare Your Baking Dish: Start by lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. This step makes cutting the fudge so much easier!
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and butter. Stir frequently until melted and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Mix in the Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and mix until well combined. The mixture should be creamy and luscious.
- Add the Key Lime Juice and Zest: Stir in the freshly squeezed key lime juice and lime zest. This will infuse the fudge with that irresistible tangy flavor.
- Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until completely set.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy your delightful Key Lime Fudge!
Notes
- Use Fresh Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice offers the best flavor compared to bottled juice.
- Don’t Overheat: When melting chocolate, keep the heat low to prevent scorching.
- Chill Well: Allow adequate chilling time to ensure the fudge sets properly and holds its shape.
- Keep It Covered: Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to add different extracts, like vanilla or almond, for an exciting twist.
