👨🍳 Directions:
Step 1: Prep Your Pan
1. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2: Melt & Mix
1. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
2. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice, zest, vanilla, salt, and food colouring (if using).
4. Mix until fully combined — it will thicken slightly as the lemon reacts with the chocolate.

3. Sprinkle with extra zest or powdered sugar, if desired.
