Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 cup Nonfat evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon Corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with nonstick cooking spray. Set it aside.
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, nonfat evaporated milk, and corn syrup.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, ensuring to stir occasionally to prevent burning. Continue boiling the mixture for 8–10 minutes, or until it reaches the soft ball stage (235–240°F or 112–115°C on a candy thermometer).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into 16 equal squares.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
