Make your own Cornish fudge at home

Make your own Cornish fudge at home

 

Craving a taste of Cornwall? We’ve got just the thing – our Cornish clotted cream fudge.

Not only is the recipe super simple (so great to make with the little ones on a rainy afternoon) but it also makes the perfect gift.  

We like ours drizzled with a little white chocolate on top – but you can decorate however you please. In fact, the wackier the better we say!

Ingredients 

25g of Cornish clotted cream

100g of golden syrup

225g of golden caster sugar

1 pinch of salt

Chocolate, sweets, or sprinkles to decorate (optional)

Equipment

A large saucepan

An 18cm baking tin

Baking paper

A sugar thermometer

Method

  1. Line an 18cm square tin with baking paper.
  2. Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan and place over a medium heat.
  3. Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally to stop the mixture from catching on the bottom of the pan.
  4. When the fudge reaches 116°C on a sugar thermometer, remove from the heat.
  5. Leave to cool slightly before beating with a wooden spoon until the mixture turns from shiny to matte.
  6. Spread out in the lined tin and cover with baking paper
  7. Transfer to the fridge for 1 hour to set.
  8. Decorate with drizzled chocolate (or other sweet things) before slicing into squares
