My favorite cocktail in fudge form – somebody hold me! This Strawberry Daiquiri Fudge is perfect for your next party – so delicious and seriously impressive!
So, I am a firm believer in enjoying fudge year-round. Who says it has to be just a holiday food? Not me! Some of my favorite fudge recipes are really just perfect for summer and this Strawberry Daiquiri Fudge just joined the lineup.
I put all of the essential strawberry daiquiri flavors into this fudge and you can taste each and every one – it’s just SO good! Fresh lime zest and strawberry jam are the key ingredients to this fudge.
I decided to go the traditional route with this fudge because I wanted a super soft and creamy texture. You will need a candy thermometer, so if you don’t have one already, go NOW!
This fudge is totally worth it.
This remarkable strawberry fudge is speckled with fresh lime zest for a truly party-worthy treat. Good the first day, great the second, this fudge reaches it’s height of flavor on it’s third day. A great candy to make in advance!
I topped the fudge this these pretty pink and green sugar pearls – totally optional but they do look pretty 🙂 Fresh lime zest would also look amazing!
