Ingredients
1 packet lime-flavoured jelly powder
1 tablespoon margarine
1/2 cup hot water
1 tin sweetened condensed milk
Granulated sugar for coating
1 tablespoon margarine
1/2 cup hot water
1 tin sweetened condensed milk

Where to find ingredients
Sweetened condensed milk and margarine are standard grocery staples found in every local supermarket in Barbados. Lime-flavoured jelly powder is typically available in the baking aisle or alongside other gelatin and dessert mixes. For the granulated sugar, standard white sugar is perfect for coating. If you have trouble finding specific lime jelly, any high-quality lime or citrus-flavoured gelatin mix will work well to get that authentic tangy kick.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the lime jelly powder in the hot water, stirring well until completely smooth
- Set the mixture aside
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, margarine, and the dissolved jelly
- Place the saucepan over medium-low heat
- Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and pulls away cleanly from the bottom of the pan, reaching the traditional 'point of rolling'
- Pour the mixture onto a greased plate and allow it to cool completely
- With greased hands, roll small portions of the mixture into balls and coat them in granulated sugar
- Place each fudge ball into a small paper cup and serve
