How to make easy 2 ingredient lemon fudge recipe?
- Melt white chocolate.
- Stir in lemon frosting.
- Spread mixture in a square pan.
- Chill until firm.
- Slice and enjoy.
Tips and techniques
- Don't use homemade lemon frosting because it does not work as well as the store-bought frosting cans.
- Your fudge is only as good as the ingredients you use. Make sure to use high quality white chocolate chips.
- White chocolate can burn very easily. Keep a very close eye on it when you are melting it.
- You need to work quickly because the fudge mixture will start to set quickly.
- Use a sharp knife to make perfect square pieces.
- You cannot add lemon juice in this recipe because that will cause the chocolate to seize and create a lumpy texture.
Variations
- You can also use various cutters to make different fudge shapes. I used a square cutter with rounded edges.
- Drizzle some melted white chocolate on top and toss some sprinkles to make it look even more elegant.
- To make the fudge look pretty, toss some sprinkles on top of the fudge mixture before you chill it.
- Swirl some blueberry jam on top of the mixture before it sets.
- Spread the fudge mixture on top of a pan of baked brownies and let the fudge set. Slice and enjoy.
- Use your choice of frosting to make any other flavor of frosting fudge.
- Use these as a decoration for my Moist Lemon Cake (With Lemon Curd). It would look stunning and people can enjoy more than one dessert this way.
Recipe FAQs
It wasn't chilled long enough or your measurements are inaccurate.
The chocolate was most likely over-heated and has burned. Another reason could be that ingredients were not combined well enough.
Storage
- Refrigerate- In a sealed container for up to 1 week. Make sure the fudge pieces are separated by sheets of wax paper and don't stick to each other.
- Freeze- In a sealed container for up to 1 month.
- Room temperature- This should not sit out for longer than 3-5 hours.
- Make ahead- This can easily be made 1-2 days in advance.

I've never had Lemon fudge before but it was amazing. I had to make a second batch because it got eaten before I could put it with the other fudge for presents
