Method

  • step 1

    Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment. Put the sugar, condensed milk and butter in a large heatproof bowl (the mixture will bubble up as it cooks to roughly double its size), add a good pinch of salt and stir together.

  • step 2

    Heat the mixture in the microwave on High for 10 mins, stirring every 2-3 mins. Keep an eye on the mixture, as it will bubble up and may go over the sides of the bowl.

  • step 3

    Add the vanilla and liqueur to the mixture, whisk together and heat on High for another 2 mins. The mixture should be caramel-coloured and thickened. Scrape into the tin and set aside for 45 mins to 1 hr until cool and firm before cutting. Pack into a box and eat within 3 weeks.

I tried this recipe, after reading some of the comments I was worried it wouldn’t turn out right, but it’s delicious!! It’s buttery and crumbly, just like Scottish tablet. I’d definitely use again, It’s great

question

Is it possible to make this by just leaving out the booze for children?

I've tried three times.....first one I followed exactly to the recipe, but the result was too gooey. I swirled the resulting goo in with ice cream. Second one I decided to make sure I kept heating it and lost count of how much it was heated - it turned out like toffee, and pulled one of my fillings…

This worked out great for me, I put in 4 tbs of Kalua (because, why not?) and it was delicious. I beat it with a fork every two minutes and zapped it a few extra times. It was a bit grainy but I prefer my fudge to be more like tablet than toffee. I also put walnuts in. Gave half as a gift.

This fudge was lovely, no booze but 2tbl spoons of strong coffee, it only took 8 mins in 900w microwave. This was first time doing it in microwave I will do this again its quicker and less mess.
