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
- Prep: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with waxed paper, allowing the paper to overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal of the fudge later.
- Melt the base: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
- Initial microwaving: Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly to distribute the heat and start melting the chocolate evenly.
- Complete melting: Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring each time for about 1 minute, until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy without any unmelted chocolate.
- Add flavor and mix-ins: Stir in the lemon extract, yellow food coloring, and chopped Lemon Oreos, folding gently to evenly incorporate all ingredients.
- Set the fudge: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and press additional chopped Lemon Oreos evenly on top for texture and decoration.
- Cool and serve: Allow the fudge to cool and harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate is melted gently to avoid burning or seizing.
- You can use white chocolate melting wafers for easier melting if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of lemon extract to taste for more or less tanginess.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Pressing additional Lemon Oreos on top adds texture and visual appeal.
