Serves: 24 pieces
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup pink lemonade concentrate
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x9 inch baking pan by lining it completely with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
- Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
- Once fully melted, add pink lemonade concentrate and lemon zest to the mixture. Stir until ingredients are fully incorporated and the color is evenly distributed.
- Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly to the corners.
- If desired, sprinkle the optional colorful sprinkles over the top of the fudge, gently pressing them into the surface.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely set and firm.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the fudge out of the pan and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 24 equal squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
