Fudge Ingredients
- 24-28 ounces White Chocolate Chips (Use high-quality chips for a creamier texture)
- 1 â…“ cups Key Lime Curd (Adds signature zesty flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare pan: Line an 8-inch square pan with non-stick tin foil or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the fudge.
- Combine ingredients: In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, pour the white chocolate chips and key lime curd together.
- Initial melting: Heat the bowl in the microwave at 70% power for 90 seconds to gently melt the chocolate and curd without burning.
- Rest period: Let the bowl rest inside the microwave for 3 minutes, allowing residual heat to continue melting the ingredients evenly.
- Stir mixture: Remove the bowl and stir the mixture thoroughly until completely melted and smooth. This ensures a uniform creamy texture.
- Additional heating, if needed: If the chips are not fully melted, heat again at 70% power for an additional 15 seconds, then rest and stir until smooth.
- Spread fudge: Pour and spread the melted fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan for an even thickness.
- Cover and chill: Cover the pan with tin foil or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 3 hours until the fudge is firm and set.
- Cut and serve: Once firm, remove the fudge from the pan by peeling off the lining and cut into 36 equal sized squares for serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for best texture and flavor.
- Key lime curd adds a tangy zest that’s key to the flavor profile; do not substitute with regular lime curd.
- Microwave power may vary; adjust time accordingly to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Ensure to cover the fudge while chilling to prevent it from absorbing fridge odors.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
