Easy Fudge Recipe for the Perfect Homemade Gift!

• Lynsey Macdonald

A homemade present is always extra special. So instead of spending hours googling gift ideas, why not create some delicious fudge - trust us, it'll be your most successful gift ever! Sarah from @by.sarahteresa has shared her Easy Fudge recipe, and we can't wait for you to try it.

Pssst... you can watch Sarah make this fudge herself over on Youtube.

Easy Fudge Recipe - what you need:

  • 397g Condensed Milk
  • 150ml Milk
  • 450g Soft Brown Sugar
  • 115g Butter
  • 1-2 tsp of Vanilla Extract

Optional:

Instructions:

Step 1: Line your cake tin

Butter and line a 20cm cake tin with baking parchment (I used a brownie pan).

Step 2: Melt butter, condensed milk, sugar and milk

Put the butter, condensed milk, sugar and milk in a large saucepan over a low heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3: Bring to the boil

Increase the heat and bring to the boil. Bubble for 10-15 mins, stirring all the time until the mixture reaches 115C on a sugar or probe thermometer.

Step 4: Remove the fudge from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5: Whisk in the vanilla and optional chocolate/nuts

Add the vanilla flavouring, and optional white chocolate and nuts, then beat by hand or with a hand mixer whisk until it just loses its shine and becomes thick (this should take about 5-10 minutes). The longer you beat once it starts to thicken then the more crumbly the final fudge will be. If you like it smooth - beat it only until it comes away from the sides of the pan and sticks well to the spoon.

Step 6: Leave the fudge to set and to cool down completely before cutting.

OVER TO YOU!

Thanks to Sarah we'll be daydreaming about this fudge for the rest of the week. So now it’s over to you!
