Key Lime Fudge

A different sort of fudge...

I wanted to try something a little different than the standard fudges I have made in the past and chose Key Lime Fudge from blogger Shugary Sweets (http://www.shugarysweets.com/2011/08/key-lime-fudge.html)

The only variation that I made was to use Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal instead of graham crackers, used non-stick coating spray on the pan and I didn't press them in the fudge as I didn't want them to get soggy.

It was super simple and we loved how it turned out...it had a lime taste without being overpowering, sort of like a fresh breeze of summer of a chilly day.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 cup Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal or
  • 1 packets Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 oz)
  • 2 packets White Chocolate Chips (11 oz packages)
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker(s) Crumbs
  • Non Stick Spray Coating

Steps (6 steps, 50 minutes)

  1. 1

    Wash the limes, roll lightly on a table to help get the juice loose (optional), zest the limes on a zester or grater (I used a grater), cut in half and juice the limes.

  2. 2

    On low heat (I heated mine on the 1 1/2 mark on my stove) melt the sweetened condensed milk and both packages of the white chocolate chips until smooth - it took 18 minutes on my stove.

  3. 3

    Once smooth, turn off heat and add the lime juice and the lime zest; mix thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Spray a pan - I used a 9x12, but if you wanted thicker pieces you could use a smaller pan or a larger pan (or more than one) if you wanted to have thinner pieces. Pour the fudge into the pan.

  5. 5

    Crush up 1/2 cup or more of Cinnamon Toast Crunch or graham cracker topping (leftovers are fun to use as an ice cream topping).

  6. 6

    Sprinkle topping on the fudge and let set until cool (I cooled my off in the refrigerator) and then cut into squares to serve.
