🔥 How to Make No-Bake Lemon Fudge
1. Melt the chocolate
If you have a double boiler, this is its moment to shine.
If not? A microwave works perfectly.
Using almond bark:
Cut or shave it into smaller chunks so it melts faster and more evenly.
Microwave method:
Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time.
Don’t skip the stirring—if you heat it too long without mixing, you’ll end up with burned chocolate in some spots and unmelted hunks in others. Trust me, 30 seconds + stir is your new best friend.
Double boiler method:
Heat on low and stir continuously until smooth and melty.
2. Add the magic
Once your chocolate is melted, stir in:
- the full can of sweetened condensed milk, and
- the entire package of lemon pudding mix
Don’t skimp on the pudding mix—it helps the fudge set and gives it that delicious lemony flavor.
Mix until everything is smooth and combined. Mixy mixy! 😄
3. Pour & chill
Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture in.
Smooth the top and pop it in the fridge for 2 hours (or until firm).
Once set, lift the fudge out by the parchment, slice into squares, and enjoy!
🍋 Time to Taste!
This fudge is creamy, bright, and SO refreshing. The lemon flavor makes it perfect for spring and summer, but honestly… I’d make this any day of the year.
I’m already thinking about experimenting with other pudding flavors—maybe butterscotch? Chocolate? Banana cream?
I’ll test them out on my coworkers first before sharing the official verdict with you. 😉
If you try this recipe, let me know what you think! Have a wonderful day, everyone!
