Today I had a go at making my own fudge which turned out surprisingly well...it was just the right amount of crumbly and melt in your mouth. So I thought I would share the recipe.
Ingredients:
680g of caster sugar
1 can of evaporated milk
225g of unsalted butter
170g of white chocolate
1 dash of vanilla extract
Vegetable oil
Method:
To start this simple recipe grease a 18-20 square baking tray with a very light layer of vegetable oil.
Place the milk, sugar and butter in a saucepan and warm slowly on a low heat until the sugar and butter dissolves. It is important to stir constantly during this process to ensure the mix does not stick to the pan and to avoid crystallisation on the sugar. (Is also a great arm workout)
Once the mix has dissolved, add the vanilla extract, then bring the mix to the boil. Continue to cook whilst constantly stirring until the mixture looks similar to thick bubbly lava.
You will then need to break the chocolate into small pieces and add to the mixture. Continue stirring I until the chocolate has melted and mixture starts to cool, thicken and goes from shiny to matte in colour.
Pour the fudge onto the greased baking tray and leave to coolly at room temperature. Once the fudge has set, cut into small cubes and store in an air tight container.
I will be having a go at Jamie Oliver's tasty fish tacos later so will do a small post on the outcome.
