If you love Lemon Meringue pie, this Lemon Meringue Fudge is even better. Sweet fudge topped with marshmallow “meringue”, lemon curd, and graham crackers!
First, make some homemade lemon curd. If you choose NOT to make homemade, you can buy it in the store. Or use a thick lemon pie filling!
Next, line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
PRO TIP: Use binder clips (or clothespins) to secure parchment to pan to keep it snug. Set aside.
Next, in your stand mixer bowl, add white chocolate chips, 1 jar of marshmallow cream (7 oz size), and lemon zest. Set aside.
In a saucepan, melt butter with sugar, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to boil.
Boil for 5 minutes, and remove from heat.
Pour hot mixture over morsels in mixing bowl, using the whisk attachment, blend until smooth. This will take about one minute. Fold in 2 Tbsp lemon curd (or lemon pie filling) and mini marshmallows.
Spread fudge into prepared baking dish.
Top fudge with lemon curd and crushed graham crackers. Chill for 3 hours, until fudge has set completely.
Cut into bite sized pieces when ready to serve. This fudge is best served chilled! ENJOY.
Notes
Make the lemon curd first. If you’re using store bought lemon curd or pie filling, have it out and ready to go before you start making the fudge.
Serve chilled. This lemon fudge tastes amazing cold straight from the fridge!
Slice as you go. Fudge stays soft and fresh longer when it’s stored in a larger block. Cut off only as much fudge from the block as you will eat (or serve) at one time.
