Directions
Lin a small baking sheet with parchment paper or greasing it with foil. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the condensed coconut milk and lemon pudding mix. Keep stirring the mixture constantly for about 10 minutes, until it thickens nicely. Take the pan off the heat, then mix in the sweetener and lemon extract until everything is well combined. Pour the fudge mixture onto your prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly to about a quarter-inch thickness. Pop it in the fridge and let it chill for about an hour, until it’s firm. When it’s set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut it into bite-sized squares. Enjoy your sweet, tangy treat straight from the fridge!
Serving Ideas For Every Meal
Cut the fudge into small squares and serve them on a decorative plate for parties or afternoon tea. They also pair nicely with a hot cup of tea or coffee to balance the sweetness. You can sprinkle a little extra lemon zest on top for a bright, fresh look.
Best Storage Tips
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If your kitchen is warm, keep it in the fridge to maintain its texture. Let it come to room temperature before serving for the best taste and softness.
