It’s easy and doesn’t take very long either.

These fudge pieces will keep for up to 3 weeks in a container.

Ingredients

  • 125g salted butter, plus extra for the tin
  • 397g can condensed milk
  • 460g light muscovado sugar
  • 150ml whole milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste

Example.

Method

  • Butter and line a 20cm square cake tin with baking parchment. Put the butter, condensed milk, sugar and milk in a large saucepan over a low heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves.
  • Increase the heat and bring to the boil. Bubble for 10 mins, stirring all the time until the mixture reaches 115C on a sugar or probe thermometer. Remove from the heat and leave to cool to 110C. Add the vanilla, then beat in a stand mixer or with an electric hand whisk until it cools to 60C. This will help break up any large sugar crystals. The fudge should be thick and matte-looking.
  • Spoon the fudge into the prepared tin and press down with a spoon to smooth the surface. Leave to set, then cut into squares.
