Method

  1. Line a 22cm square non-stick tin with baking parchment. Put the caster sugar, double cream and liquid glucose in a pan. Slowly heat together, stirring continually, until the sugar melts and stops feeling grainy on the bottom of the pan. Turn up the heat and fast boil until a small amount of the mixture dropped into a glass of cold water sets into a soft ball that you can pick up on a teaspoon. By this time the bubbles in the mixture will look small and even.
  2. Turn off the heat and keep stirring for 5 mins or until the mix starts to thicken a little. Sprinkle in the white chocolate and swirl it through the mixture once using a spatula or the handle of a wooden spoon. Pour into a tin and leave the fudge overnight to set, then turn out and cut into squares. Will keep for up to 2 months in an airtight container - don't store in the fridge or the fudge will go soft.

Presenting your gift

You can wrap the whole block in cellophane and even make the tin part of your gift, or cut it into squares and box or bag it up. Use milk or dark chocolate chips, if you like.

    I think this worked but could anyone reassure me in regards to the correct texture. I find that it is not chewy like commercially bought as is slightly grainy.

    Janet - Homemade fudge is supposed to be grainy and almost melt in your mouth. It sounds like yours worked perfectly

    How long would this keep in an airtight container?

    Worked well. Had never made fudge before and wasn't sure how long it would take until it got to the soft ball stage. I think it took about 20 minutes in the end. Made it with milk choc but will be trying it with white for Christmas presents because I imagine that the flavours will go really well together. Just have to stop myself eating it first.

    Made this to serve with coffee after dinner. Didn't have the correct sugar so used soft brown. Should have allowed to cool a bit longer before adding the chocolate. Worked really well! Don't think I'll have to worry about storage times!

    I tried this, as an idea for christmas presents, but it didn't set and remained all gooey, so I had to throw it out. Any ideas on what went wrong?? I was so disappointed :(

    Fab fudge so simple to make! Louise, maybe you didn't boil it for long enough? Also if you don't stir fudge for quite a while after you've turned the heat off so it is really thick it doesn't tend to set very well, in my experience anyway!

    The best fudge I have ever made. I used a preserving thermometer and stopped boiling at 118degrees and it is the creamiest, yummiest fudge ever! It cut into squares really well and looks as good as it tastes!

    A little crumbly when I tried to cut it, but everyone loves it and it was very simple to make. Also the first fudge I've made where the pan survived the experience!

    This is a recipe for scottish tablet, absolutely delicious tablet, but tablet none the less! I decided to stick with these ingredients but change the method, stir untill boiling point and then stop stirring and let it slowly heat to the soft ball stage. Then let it cool, undisturbed untill it cools to 110 degress F. Then stir it untill your arm nearly drops off, it starts to thicken and lose it's gloss. I also lowered the sugar amount to 400g as this produces fudge that is definitely sweet enough. This method produces the smoothest fudge ever!

    tasty!!!! made twice so far, first time without a thermometer (ended up with a delicious cross between fudge and toffee) this time invested in sugar thermometer (under £6) and whilst it went slightly past 'soft ball' stage (left other half in charge of pan!) it turned out just lovely, much more like fudge, still tasting utterly delicious, crumbly and looks homemade and rustic. i love it! definitely stir for ages after heat goes off, mine set very quickly. looks lovely in little gift bags. highly recommended!

    Forgot to add that you can easily make a home made alternative to liquid glucose. Just put ' home-made corn syrup' into Google and bobs your uncle!
