Ingredients
- 24-28 ounces (4 cups) white chocolate chips*
- 1 â…“ cups key lime curd
* For best results, use high-quality white chocolate chips, which will melt more smoothly and enhance the overall flavor.
Directions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8-inch square pan with non-stick tin foil or parchment paper. If using regular tin foil, spray it lightly with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and key lime curd.
- Microwave: Heat the mixture at 70% power for 90 seconds. Allow the bowl to rest in the microwave for 3 minutes.
- Stir to Melt: After resting, remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the mixture until fully melted. If necessary, heat for an additional 15 seconds at 70% power, then let rest again. Stir until all the chocolate chips are completely melted.
- Spread the Fudge: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the pan with a piece of tin foil or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for about 3 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once firm, remove the fudge from the pan and peel off the tin foil or parchment paper. Cut into 36 squares and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch of indulgence, try garnishing each piece with a sprinkle of sea salt or a small dollop of whipped cream.
