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.
