Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Clotted cream
- 275 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking tin and line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Place the clotted cream, granulated sugar, and golden syrup in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Stir continuously to prevent sticking or burning, using a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula.
Cook the mixture until it reaches 116°C (240°F) on a candy thermometer. This is the 'soft ball' stage for fudge.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly. Do not stir during this time.
Add the vanilla extract and beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon for 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to thicken and lose its gloss.
Pour the fudge into the prepared tin, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Allow the fudge to set at room temperature for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into small squares or rectangles.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
