Title: Lime Fudge
Ingredients:
– 3 cups white chocolate chips
– 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– Zest of 2 limes
– 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
– Green food coloring (optional)
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Prepare an 8×8 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are melted.
3. Add the lime zest, lime juice, a few drops of green food coloring (if desired for a vibrant color), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Continue stirring until everything is well combined.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth out the top of the fudge evenly.
5. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is set and firm to the touch.
6. Once the fudge is completely chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the baking dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares using a sharp knife.
7. Serve the Lime Fudge at room temperature and enjoy the refreshing citrus flavor!
