Equipment

• 8×8 inch baking pan
• Parchment paper
• Medium heavy-bottom saucepan
• Silicone spatula or wooden spoon
• Microplane or fine grater (for lemon zest)
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Knife for slicing

Ingredients

Cheesecake Fudge Base

• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
• 4 oz cream cheese softened
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Flavoring

• 1½–2 tsp blue raspberry flavoring or blue raspberry drink mix powder
• 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh preferred
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• Blue food coloring optional

Instructions

Prep the pan

• Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.

Melt the base

• In a heavy saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and cream cheese. Stir constantly until completely smooth and melted.

Flavor it

• Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, salt, blue raspberry flavoring, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
• Add blue food coloring a drop at a time until you reach your desired shade.

Set

• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 3–4 hours, or until fully firm.

Slice & serve

• Lift out, cut into squares, and enjoy!

Notes

• Low heat is key: White chocolate and cream cheese can scorch or seize if overheated. Stir constantly over low heat for the smoothest texture.
• Balance the tang: Blue raspberry is sweet, while lemon adds sharpness. Start with less lemon juice and adjust to taste.
• Color control: Blue raspberry flavoring may already tint the fudge. Add food coloring only if needed, one drop at a time.
• Texture fix: If the fudge looks slightly grainy, keep stirring gently over low heat until fully smooth.
• Extra lemonade pop: Add ¼–½ tsp citric acid for a stronger lemonade flavor without extra liquid.
• Marbled look: Reserve ½ cup of plain cheesecake fudge and swirl it in before chilling.
• Setting time: Chill at least 3 hours; overnight chilling gives the cleanest slices.
• Storage: Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 7 days. Freeze for up to 2 months (thaw in the fridge).
• Serving tip: Let sit at room temperature 5–10 minutes before serving for the creamiest bite.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this fudge ahead of time?
Yes. This fudge is ideal for making ahead. Prepare it up to 3 days in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Does this fudge actually taste like lemonade?
It has a lemonade-style tang, not a sour candy flavor. The lemon juice and zest give it a bright finish that balances the sweetness without overpowering the cheesecake base.

Can I use blue raspberry drink mix instead of flavoring?
Yes. Blue raspberry drink mix works well and adds both flavor and color. Use it sparingly and taste as you go, as some mixes are sweeter or more tart.

Why does my fudge need to be refrigerated?
Because it contains cream cheese, refrigeration keeps the texture firm and safe. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the creamiest bite.

Can I double this recipe?
Absolutely. Double all ingredients and pour into a 9×13-inch pan. Chill time may increase slightly.

Is this fudge good for parties or gifting?
Yes! Its vibrant color and no-bake ease make it perfect for parties, holidays, and gift boxes. Just keep it chilled until serving.
