- 300 grams White chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 medium lemons Lemon zest
- 60 ml Lemon juice
- 80 grams Powdered sugar
- 4 drops Yellow food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Line a square 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate, and unsalted butter.
Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to let the mixture scorch.
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and powdered sugar to the saucepan and mix until fully incorporated.
If desired, add a few drops of yellow food coloring and stir until the color is uniform.
Pour the lemon fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 20 small squares.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
