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

Recycle and Charity Initiative

30 August 2023

Chris from our maintenance team has been making a difference again this year! With the main summer holiday season behind us, St Ives over the course of spring and summer always  sees lots of surfboards, wind breaks, and other beach items being left behind by visitors after they leave. Instead of these items being binned, we've encouraged guests who don't want to take these items home with them to give these items a new life at a local caravan park.
