Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 397 g sweetened condensed milk
- 400 g white chocolate
- 30 g unsalted butter
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 100 g glacé cherries, halved
- 50 g sliced almonds
- 10 g powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate, and unsalted butter over low heat.
Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to let the mixture scorch.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the almond extract until fully incorporated.
Fold in the halved glacé cherries and most of the sliced almonds, reserving a small handful of almonds for topping.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved sliced almonds over the top of the fudge, gently pressing them into the surface to ensure they stick.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the tin using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 16 squares using a sharp knife.
Optionally, dust the top of the fudge with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
