Vanilla Fudge

Excellent recipe to make and enjoy at home or gift to others—try out this vanilla fudge that uses Muscovado sugar!

Muscovado sugar can be used in fudge to provide a rich, toffee-like flavor and a slightly chewy texture due to its molasses content. It provides a deeper, more complex sweetness compared to using only white sugar.

Vanilla Fudge 

Ingredients

  • 500 ml double cream
  • 2 cups Muscovado sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. liquid glucose
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Line a 20 x 20cm brownie tin with baking paper. Put the cream, sugar and glucose in a pan. Heat gently, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves, then turn up the heat and simmer, stirring regularly, until the temperature reaches 115-117C on a sugar thermometer (the soft ball stage). Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  2. Pour into the lined tin then leave until cool and set. Cut into 50 little squares.
