3 Ingredient Fudge (Traditional Fudge Recipe)
Make this 3 ingredient fudge as the perfect gift or treat. It's Gluten-free, Egg-free, Nut-free and Soya-free
Ingredients
- 300 ml full fat milk
- 350 g sugar
- 100 g unsalted butter
- Zest 2 clementines - optional - (for Christmas fudge)
- Half tsp ground ginger - optional - (for Christmas fudge)
- Half tsp ground cinnamon - optional - (for Christmas fudge)
- 2 tsp amaretto or brandy - optional - (for Christmas fudge)
Instructions
- Add the first three ingredients to a large pan (when hot it will boil up and it is therefore important to choose a large pan with plenty of room) and heat over a low to medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted. Stir every minute or so to make sure everything is mixed.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up and boil the mixture, stirring continually to make sure it doesn't stick on the bottom.
- Keep boiling until the mixture thickens and darkens...when it is ready the mixture will pull away from the bottom of the pan as you stir. It will also form a soft ball when dropped into a glass of cold water.
- Take off the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients, then leave the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
- Beat the mixture with a spoon for approx. 10 minutes until the mixture looses its sheen and starts to thicken.
- Quickly pour the mixture into a lined tin approx. 20cm by 20cm although if you don't have one you can just pour it out onto a lined baking tray. Smooth the surface and leave to cool.
- Cut into pieces once cooled.
