This year's Christmas box production line is well under way, and a new item that I made for this year's boxes is Candy Cane Fudge from the Australian Women's Weekly website.
If you are scared of making sweets, don't be with this fudge - it is super duper simple. If you can melt things together without burning them, then you can absolutely make this fudge.
The finished product is creamy and sweet, and the peppermint tones down the sweetness as well as adding festive red and white colour.
To make it, you will need:
500g white chocolate melts
395g can condensed milk
30g butter
1/3 cup crushed candy canes (I blitzed them in the food processor)
extra crushed candy canes to sprinkle on top of the fudge
Line a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper.
Put the chocolate melts, condensed milk and butter into a medium sized heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (ie a homemade bain marie). Stir the ingredients over the simmering water until melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the 1/3 cup crushed candy canes. Working quickly before the fudge starts to set, scrape the fudge into the prepared cake tin and spread evenly in the tin. Rap the tin on the bench a few times to eliminate air bubbles.
Put the fudge into the fridge for ~ 2 hours to set before cutting into squares.
Eat and enjoy!
I can't seem to ever get milk fudge to set and always have to use marshmallows. Maybe Sydney's humidity is the problem?
ReplyDeleteThis looks festive. I make a candy cane ice cream every year but you can't really share that:)
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic though definitely fridge food in this weather! Which is fine as no bakes are always welcome in summer
