Servings: 64 pieces
Ingredients
For the Fudge
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- ¾ cup Heavy Cream
- ¾ cup Unsalted Butter
- dash of Salt
- 2 ½ cups White Chocolate Chips 11oz bag
- 7 ounces Marshmallow Fluff
- 2 Lemons zested
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Curd
- 1 ½ cup miniature Marshmallows
For the Garnish:
- 1 cup Lemon Curd
- 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
Instructions
- First, make some lemon curd (or use store bought). You can also 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.
- Storage. Keep fudge in airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
