Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks / 170 g) unsalted butter
- ⅔ cup (168 g) evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1 bag (11 ounces) white chocolate chips
- 1 jar (7 ounces / 198 g) marshmallow fluff, or marshmallow creme
- 1 tablespoon lemon extract
- 3 to 5 drops yellow gel food coloring, or enough to reach your desired shade of yellow
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing for an overhang. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, stop stirring and let boil undisturbed until it reaches 234°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, about 5 minutes. Brush down any sugar crystals from the sides with a wet pastry brush. Remove from heat.
- Allow the mixture to sit for 1 to 2 minutes, then stir in white chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- Beat in marshmallow fluff until creamy; avoid overmixing.
- Scoop out 1 cup of the mixture into a small bowl for swirling. Mix lemon extract and yellow gel food coloring into the remaining mixture until evenly tinted.
- Pour the lemon mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Add dollops of the reserved white mixture on top and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. For faster setting, freeze for 30 minutes.
- Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into squares.
Notes
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
For a more intense lemon flavor, add additional lemon extract to taste.
Feel free to use food coloring to adjust the yellow hue according to your preference.
