Method

  • step 1

    Line a 22cm square non-stick tin with baking parchment. Put the caster sugar, double cream and liquid glucose in a pan. Slowly heat together, stirring continually, until the sugar melts and stops feeling grainy on the bottom of the pan. Turn up the heat and fast boil until a small amount of the mixture dropped into a glass of cold water sets into a soft ball that you can pick up on a teaspoon. By this time the bubbles in the mixture will look small and even.

  • step 2

    Turn off the heat and keep stirring for 5 mins or until the mix starts to thicken a little. Sprinkle in the white chocolate and swirl it through the mixture once using a spatula or the handle of a wooden spoon. Pour into a tin and leave the fudge overnight to set, then turn out and cut into squares. Will keep for up to 2 months in an airtight container – don't store in the fridge or the fudge will go soft.

question

I followed the recipe and ingredients but it never fully set? Tastes amazing but any idea why it didn’t set fully??

Hi, If the fudge won't set then usually it hasn't cooked for long enough. If you have a sugar thermometer the mixture needs to reach 116C. If not, the soft ball needs to be firm enough to keep its shape on the teaspoon. I hope this helps, Lulu

Has anyone successfully turned this into rum and raisin?

Brilliant, simple fudge recipe. Didn't use a sugar thermometer as I don't own one, but it turned out fine anyway. I topped it with freeze-dried strawberries and chopped pistachios and it looks really nice.

This was lovely fudge, made as a gift for Mothers Day, and I will definitely make again. I used a 300ml tub of cream with the other ingredients adjusted accordingly, used a thermometer, and left the fudge until it had cooled and thickened somewhat before stirring in the chocolate so it didn't all…

question

Has anyone tried adding alcohol to this recipe or is it best to use a recipe containing condensed milk?
