3 Ingredient Lemon Fudge
This soft and creamy lemon fudge is just 3 ingredients. It doesn't need any dairy or butter. The fudge is easy to prepare and doesn't even require a candy thermometer.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (257g) dairy-free white chocolate chips, or 1 (9 oz) bag
- 1/4 cup (68g) sweetened coconut condensed milk, room temperature, see note before starting
- 1 (packed) tsp (2g) lemon zest, approximately the zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Line the bottom of a 7 x 3 inch or 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Add white 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. Add in the condensed milk and lemon zest and stir until they are fully incorporated. Your mixture will thicken to a paste-like consistency as the milk gets incorporated. This is normal.
- Transfer the mixture to your lined loaf pan. Use your spatula to spread the fudge mixture evenly across. If desired, you can add a little more lemon zest on top for decoration. Place the fudge into the fridge for 2-4 hours, or until set.
- Cut the fudge into approximate 1-inch squares with a large sharp knife. The fudge is a little chewy and sticky so it is easier to cut it while it is cold rather than letting it come to room temperature. Store uneaten fudge in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- If you want a thicker fudge, use a 7 x 3 inch loaf pan. You can use an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan but the fudge will be quite thin. If you only have a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan, you will want to make 1.5 times the recipe. I tried to make the recipe so that it uses exactly one full bag of chocolate chips. so you don't have to open a second bag.
- Coconut condensed milk note: If you want a fudge with a firmer and less chewy consistency, you can reduce the condensed milk amount to 3 tbsp instead of 1/4 cup. I felt that the fudge wasn't quite as creamy with 3 tbsp and you do need to let the fudge come to room temperature before cutting and serving if you use less condensed milk. I used Nature's Charm sweetened coconut condensed milk*
- Dairy-free white chocolate chips note: I used Enjoy Life white chocolate chips*
