This Key Lime Fudge is a favorite fudge recipe. It is delicious, sweet, and it retains the tangy lime flavor we love in key lime pie.
It isn’t a typical fudge flavour. It’s not even chocolate. The recipe does contain white chocolate, but that is not actually chocolate. The white chocolate serves as a vessel to contain a wonderful sweet lime flavor. If you love limes, this recipe is perfect for you.

Ingredients
One 5-ounce can 2% evaporated milk
1 2/3 cups granulated white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 large marshmallows
2 cups white chocolate chips
1/4 cup grated lime zest (about 5 limes)
2 tablespoons key lime juice (5 to 7 limes, juiced)
Instructions
Line an 8″ x 8″ square pan with aluminum foil; grease the foil with butter. It’s not a good recipe for a 9-inch square pan as the fudge will be too thin.
Combine the milk, sugar and salt in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir and bring to a boil; boil 8 minutes, stirring constantly at a boil (if you have a candy thermometer, you can bring it to the soft-ball-stage, but I didn’t use one).
Remove the pan from heat. Add the marshmallows, chocolate, zest and juice, and stir until the marshmallows and chocolate are melted and the mixture is smooth. Scrape the fudge into the prepared pan. Tip the pan to make sure the fudge covers the bottom evenly. Cool completely, then cut into 1-inch squares
