Ingredients
Method
- In a large, heavy bottomed saucepan, mix together the cornflour and sugar. Add in the butter, evaporated milk and chocolate.
- Heat on low, stirring constantly, until the chocolate and butter is fully melted and the sugar has dissolved.
- Simmer on a medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the temperature reaches 116 degrees.
- Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.
- Line a square slice tin (approx 20x20cm) with baking paper.
- Once the 10 minutes are up, add in the vanilla and food coloring and beat with a wooden spoon constantly for 5-10 minutes until the fudge is thick and no longer shiny.
- Pour into your prepared slice tin. Allow to set fully before slicing.
Notes
Tips
- Make sure your pot is non stick and does not heat up too much as this will cause the fudge to overheat on the bottom and burn.
- If you don’t have a thermometer then you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a tacky ball then it is ready.
- Store your fudge in an air tight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
