Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Salted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare a square 8x8-inch pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly. Set aside.
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts and the sugars dissolve.
Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook the mixture until it reaches the soft-ball stage (238°F/114°C). This will take about 6-8 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and beat it with a wooden spoon or hand mixer until it thickens and becomes creamy. This step helps develop the signature fudge texture.
Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until fully set and firm to the touch.
Once hardened, lift the parchment paper out of the pan or release the fudge and cut it into 1-inch squares.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or refrigerate for longer storage.
