Mojito Fudge

Mojito Fudge

Hey there, friend! If you’re looking for a dessert that’s equal parts refreshing and indulgent, you’ve come to the right place.

This Mojito Fudge is my playful take on the classic cocktail, transformed into a creamy, dreamy treat that’s perfect for summer gatherings, holiday parties, or just because you deserve a little sweetness in your day.

With a tangy lime kick, a hint of fresh mint, and a buttery fudge base, this recipe is as fun to make as it is to eat.

Plus, it’s super easy—no fancy equipment or baking skills required.

How to Make It

Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

Step 1: Prep Your Pan
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. This makes it super easy to lift the fudge out later. Lightly grease the paper to ensure nothing sticks.

Step 2: Melt the Base
In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until everything is melted and smooth. Be patient—this step is key to achieving that perfect fudge texture!

Step 3: Add the Mojito Magic
Once the mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in lime zest, lime juice, and finely chopped fresh mint. The lime juice will add a tangy punch, while the mint brings that refreshing mojito vibe.

Step 4: Pour and Chill
Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle a little extra lime zest and mint on top for a pop of color and flavor. Pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 5: Slice and Serve
Once the fudge is firm, use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Cut it into small squares (a little goes a long way with this rich treat!) and serve.

Pro Tips

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh lime juice and mint make all the difference in this recipe. Skip the bottled lime juice and dried mint for the best flavor.
• Don’t Rush the Melting: Low and slow is the way to go when melting the chocolate and butter. High heat can cause the mixture to seize or burn.
• Customize It: Add a splash of rum extract if you want to amp up the cocktail vibe (just keep it kid-friendly if needed!).
• Sharp Knife Tip: For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between slices.

Storage

• Fridge: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• Freezer: Wrap individual pieces in parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
