Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24–28 ounces (680–794 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1 ⅓ cups (320 milliliters) key lime curd
Supporting Ingredients:
- 14 ounces (397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Flavoring and Finishing:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) key lime zest
- ¼ teaspoon (1 milliliter) salt
Instructions
- Prepare an 8-inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage of the bottom and sides for easy removal.
- Combine white chocolate chips and tangy key lime curd in a microwave-safe bowl, positioning the mixture centrally for even heating.
- Microwave the mixture at reduced power, carefully controlling the heat to prevent scorching and allowing gentle melting.
- After initial heating, let the bowl rest inside the microwave to allow residual warmth to continue softening the ingredients.
- Gently stir the mixture, ensuring all chocolate chips dissolve completely and the texture becomes smooth and uniform.
- If any unmelted chips remain, return the bowl to the microwave for a brief additional warming, stirring afterwards to achieve a silky consistency.
- Transfer the creamy lime-infused mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread evenly and create a level surface.
- Cover the fudge with protective wrap to prevent moisture absorption and preserve its delicate texture.
- Refrigerate the pan, allowing the fudge to solidify and develop its rich, creamy structure over several hours.
- Once fully chilled and set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges.
- Slice into precise, bite-sized squares, creating uniform pieces that showcase the vibrant key lime flavor.
Notes
- Prep strategically by ensuring all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth melting and consistent texture.
- Use fresh key lime curd for the most vibrant and authentic citrusy flavor profile.
- Microwave chocolate carefully to prevent scorching, stirring intermittently and allowing residual heat to complete melting process.
- Line pan meticulously with non-stick surface to guarantee easy removal and clean cutting of fudge squares.
- Refrigerate fudge completely for minimum 3 hours to achieve perfect firm consistency and enhance flavor development.
- Store finished fudge in airtight container in refrigerator for up to one week, separating layers with parchment paper to maintain pristine appearance.
