3 Ingredient Lemon Chocolate Fudge
This lemon fudge is so creamy, rich and full of zesty lemon flavor. It is just 3 ingredients and so easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (268 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) sweetened full fat condensed milk
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice + 1 tbsp lemon zest, plus additional for garnish
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add chocolate chips to a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Heat chocolate in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add in condensed milk and lemon juice. Stir until the condensed milk and lemon juice are fully incorporated into the chocolate. The mixture should be smooth and uniform in color. The mixture will also thicken.
- Stir in the zest until it is evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared loaf pan. Use your spatula to spread it evenly across the pan and smooth the surface. If desired, sprinkle a little additional lemon zest on top. Place pan into fridge or freezer until set (about 30-60 minutes).
- Once the fudge is firm, remove it from the fridge. Let it come to room temperature for a few minutes before cutting with a sharp knife.
Notes
- When squeezing your own lemon juice, make sure to strain the pulp and seeds before measuring and adding it to the fudge. I don't recommend using more than 1 tbsp of lemon juice, otherwise your fudge will be too soft and will not set.
- You will need approximately one medium lemon for this recipe. I needed half a lemon to yield 1 tbsp of juice and used the whole lemon to produce 1 tbsp of zest and a little extra for garnish.
- If you want an even stronger lemon flavor you can add 1 drop of lemon extract but I didn't find it necessary.
