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.
