I’ve got an addiction. A healthy addiction.
Let me introduce you to my minimal-ingredient-recipe addiction. There’s evidence of my addiction all over the place, especially on my 3-5 ingredient recipe Pinterest board.
I heart minimal ingredient recipes because they’re budget friendly and are often easy to make as well.
This addiction isn’t so bad, right?
I also have an addiction to sweet treats. {Who doesn’t?!?} Lately I’ve been having fun making all sorts of different fudge recipes like orange cream fudge and candy corn fudge. Both of them are super easy and oh-so-delicious.
Then one day a brilliant idea hit me.
What about lemon fudge?
That was one of those times when the recipe idea was just as good, if not better, than what I hoped for. The result is a sweet & tangy flavor combination that melts beautifully in your mouth!
This fudge is so easy to make, it can also makes a fun activity you can do with the kids!
My daughter always enjoys spending time cooking with her mama. These are the days I’ll miss when she’s off to college! I better get to the recipe before I get too emotional…
2 Ingredient Lemon Fudge
- 1 12 oz package white baking morsels (preferably from Aldi) OR 1 12 oz package white chocolate chips
- 1 16 oz package lemon flavored frosting
- Line an 8x8 square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Melt white baking morsels gently in a double boiler on the stove over medium-low heat.
- Stir the chocolate morsels constantly until completely melted. Be sure to melt it slowly since it tends to burn easily under high heat.
- Pour melted chocolate into a large bowl.
- Add frosting to the chocolate and stir both ingredients until well blended.
- Immediately pour fudge into parchment paper-lined dish.
- Let the fudge solidify in the fridge (for at least two hours)
- Remove fudge from dish and place onto a large cutting board.
- Cut into one inch pieces and serve.
- Leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Do you use a can of lemon frosting, you say package just wanted to be clear?
Yes you’re correct – I use a can of lemon frosting. I hope you enjoy the fudge!
My daughter found your recipe on pinterest and I have to say I was horrified at first. She’s 12 and learning to cook so I decided to go for it anyway. I was really shocked at how light this is! It’s gorgeous. Not too sweet at all. Perfect fudge for my holiday snack corner in my kitchen. Thanks for sharing!
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed it! The light flavor of this is one of my favorite parts about this recipe.
I live in British Columbia Canada. We can buy lemon flavored wafers like chocolate wafers and I just melt about 3 cups of the wafers and add one can of condensed milk, stir well and pour into small cake pan.
Makes beautiful fudge. Dianne
Sounds like a yummy idea Dianne! Thanks for sharing it!
I was really intrigued by the idea of only 2 ingredients to make fudge. I love me some melt & pour, and this one’s even simpler than my favorite recipe. I’ve never tried lemon fudge but it sounds wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing, Carrie. My family will be visiting the states in about a week, so I’ll have to try this recipe then, since here in Costa Rica there’s zero chance of coming up with a can of lemon frosting. Mmm!
Yes I bet there’s no such thing as lemon frosting in Costa Rica! At least you have the warm weather to make up for it 🙂
