Ingredients
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups White chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons Key lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Key lime zest
- 2 drops Green food coloring (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Graham cracker crumbs (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and butter.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the key lime juice, key lime zest, salt, and green food coloring (if using). Mix well until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle the top with graham cracker crumbs for a Key Lime Pie-inspired touch.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
Once set, remove the fudge from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 1-inch squares.
Serve chilled and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
