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
Add-ins
- 2 cups chopped Lemon Oreos
- A few drops of yellow food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with waxed paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on two opposite sides to allow for easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
- Initial Melting: Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir thoroughly to help the residual heat melt the remaining chocolate.
- Finish Melting: Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring well after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and fully melted.
- Add Flavor and Mix-ins: Stir in the lemon extract, chopped Lemon Oreos, and a few drops of yellow food coloring until evenly combined.
- Pour and Press: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press additional chopped Lemon Oreos on top to decorate and add extra texture.
- Set and Serve: Allow the fudge to cool and harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before lifting it out using the waxed paper overhang. Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use melting chocolate wafers if you prefer smoother melting for the fudge.
- Adjust lemon extract to taste for a stronger or milder lemon flavor.
- If the fudge doesn’t set well, refrigerate it for about 1 hour to firm up.
- Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
- For easier removal, the waxed paper lining is key to lifting the fudge out without breaking.
