Total Time
1 hr 15 min
Ingredients
- 1 x 397g can condensed milk
- 80g unsalted butter
- 150g soft, light brown sugar
- One whole vanilla pod
- A good pinch of sea salt
To decorate/flavour
- Freeze-dried strawberries
- Crushed honeycomb
- Edible bronze sugar pieces or other sugar-coated sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a 20cm square tin with baking parchment. Place a glass of ice-cold water nearby, which you will use later to test the fudge.
- In a large, non-stick, wide-bottomed pan, add the condensed milk, butter and soft brown sugar. Slice the vanilla pod in half lengthways, and use the tip of a knife to scrape out the seeds. Add the vanilla seeds to the mixture.
- Melt these ingredients over a medium heat, using a wooden spoon to stir until the sugar has dissolved. Make sure the sugar doesn’t catch on the bottom of the pan – if it does, turn down your heat a touch.
- Next, carefully bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Take care because the mixture will be extremely hot. Stir it constantly for around ten minutes.
- Test the fudge by dropping a small amount of the mixture into the cold water. You are looking for the fudge to drop to the bottom of the glass and form a round tear shape or ball. This is called the soft ball stage. If you have a thermometer, the mixture should have reached 113ºC (236ºF).
- Take the pan off the heat, add a good pinch of sea salt (about half a teaspoon) and leave it to cool for a few minutes. Then, using the wooden spoon again, stir the mixture vigorously until it begins to firm up a little – for about five to eight minutes.
- Very carefully, pour the mixture into your lined tin and smooth out with the back of a metal spoon. Sprinkle over your chosen toppings and push them down into the fudge slightly.
