Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 24 oz white chocolate chips or melting chocolate wafers
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
- a few drops yellow food coloring
Add-ins
- 2 cups chopped Lemon Oreos
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with waxed paper, letting it overhang on two opposite sides. This will help you lift the fudge out easily once it has set.
- Melt Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute.
- Stir and Continue Melting: Stir the mixture thoroughly after the first minute to use residual heat to melt remaining chocolate. If not fully melted, microwave the mixture in additional 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add Flavor and Mix-ins: Stir in the lemon extract, yellow food coloring, and chopped Lemon Oreos until evenly combined.
- Pour and Decorate: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Press additional chopped Lemon Oreos onto the fudge surface to decorate.
- Chill and Set: Let the fudge cool at room temperature and then allow it to harden completely, ideally chilling in the refrigerator for a few hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate for the creamiest texture.
- If you don’t have lemon extract, you can substitute with the zest of one lemon for a natural lemon flavor.
- Ensure the fudge is fully cooled and set before slicing to avoid crumbling.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Adding food coloring is optional but gives the fudge a vibrant lemon appearance.
