Description
Homemade salted caramel fudge brings rich, creamy indulgence to dessert tables with classic sweet-salty balance. Chocolate lovers can craft this simple treat quickly, enjoying luxurious results without complex techniques.
Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams (7 oz) white chocolate (broken into pieces)
- 240 milliliters (8 fl oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 180 grams (6.3 oz) brown sugar
- 115 grams (4 oz) unsalted butter (coarsely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) golden syrup
- Sea salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare an 8-inch square pan by thoroughly greasing and lining with parchment paper, ensuring smooth edges for effortless fudge removal.
- Combine sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, unsalted butter, and golden syrup in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring gently until sugar dissolves completely and ingredients integrate seamlessly.
- Gradually elevate heat to medium, continuously stirring the caramel mixture while monitoring its consistency. Cook for approximately 5-6 minutes until the mixture transforms into a thick, bubbling texture without scorching.
- Remove saucepan from heat and swiftly incorporate white chocolate pieces, stirring vigorously until chocolate melts entirely and creates a uniform, glossy mixture.
- Transfer the molten fudge into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula. Delicately sprinkle sea salt across the surface, creating a decorative and flavorful finish.
- Refrigerate the pan for 3-4 hours or ideally overnight, allowing the fudge to solidify completely and develop its characteristic smooth texture.
- Once fully set, extract the fudge from refrigerator and slice into precise, uniform squares using a sharp knife for clean, professional presentation.
Notes
- Use a candy thermometer for accurate temperature control to prevent burning or undercooking the caramel mixture.
- Stir constantly and gently to achieve a silky, creamy consistency without introducing air bubbles.
- Swap white chocolate with dairy-free alternatives like coconut milk chocolate for vegan-friendly version or use dark chocolate for a richer flavor profile.
- Keep fudge refrigerated in an airtight container for up to two weeks, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
