Ingredients

  • 330 g caster sugar
  • 50 ml whole milk
  • 50 ml condensed milk
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp golden syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Butter and line your 23cm x 23cm square tin.
  2. Pour the sugar and milk into the pan. Heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the condensed milk, butter, golden syrup and vanilla. On a low heat, stir until butter has melted and all combined.
  3. Turn up the heat to medium and boil the mixture until it reaches 116°c (soft ball).
  4. Remove from the heat and cool slightly (about 15 mins). Using a wooden spoon, beat the mixture until it thickens and appears dull in colour. This takes about 5-10 mins.
  5. Pour into your tin and cool until it sets. Once it has set, carefully remove and cut into squares.

Notes

  • Storage - You can store your fudge in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. You can also store your fudge in a cool, dry place, in a sealed container. 
  • Freezing - I haven’t personally frozen my fudge but according to Nigella, you can freeze your fudge in a large block wrapped in cling film and foil, for around 6 weeks.
