Fudge Base
- 24 oz white chocolate chips (or melting chocolate wafers)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
- A few drops yellow food coloring
Mix-ins and Topping
- 2 cups chopped Lemon Oreos
- Prep: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with waxed paper, making sure the paper overhangs on two opposite sides to help with easy removal later.
- Melt: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
- Initial Heating: Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly for 1 minute to allow residual heat to melt the chocolate evenly.
- Heat and Stir: Continue microwaving the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and fully melted.
- Mix Flavor and Cookies: Stir in the lemon extract, chopped Lemon Oreos, and a few drops of yellow food coloring until well combined.
- Pour and Press: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and press additional chopped Lemon Oreos on top for garnish and added texture.
- Set: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until it hardens completely, which may take 1-2 hours.
- Serve: Use the waxed paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan and slice into 12 squares before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips or melting wafers for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of lemon extract to your taste preference; start with less if unsure.
- Yellow food coloring is optional but enhances the lemon theme visually.
- Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature before serving if refrigerated, for best texture.
