Freezer Lemon Fudge
If you love the bright zing of lemon paired with a creamy sweetness, this freezer lemon fudge is going to be a treat for you. It’s a refreshing twist on a classic candy—rich enough that a small square is satisfying, yet lightened up with that citrusy pop. Perfect for keeping on hand when you want a little something sweet, this fudge is best stored in the freezer to stay firm and fresh.
Ingredients:
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 (12-ounce) bag white chocolate chips
- ½ can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons lemon zest, divided
- ½ teaspoon lemon extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Line a small 5×7-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra hanging over the edges to help lift the fudge out later. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Stir in the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, lemon extract, and salt until everything is well incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of lemon zest over the top for a pretty finish.
- Place the dish in the freezer and let the fudge set for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- When ready to serve, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water (wipe clean between cuts) to slice into squares.
