Delicious Homemade Vanilla Fudge Recipes

DELICIOUS HOMEMADE VANILLA FUDGE

Steps:

• In a reasonably large pan with a thick bottom, pour the evaporated milk, sugar and butter. (Tip: cut your butter into small cubes so it melts quicker.)
• Heat the mixture on medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted.
• When it bubbles and is boiling, cook at exactly that heat for around 20 minutes. Make sure to keep stirring.
• When the mixture is quite thick and a glossy, golden brown colour, turn off the heat. If the mixture starts to look brown in some places, take it off the heat immediately and stir vigorously till the brown bits are gone.
• Cool for 5 minutes.
• Then beat it with an electric mixer until it loses some of its gloss and becomes thicker. This should take 5-10 minutes.
• Then, add your vanilla essence. Whisk again so it is no longer visible and pour into a tin lined with tin foil or grease proof paper.
• Leave to cool for 2-3 hours, and then slice into cubes and enjoy!

EASY CREAMY VANILLA FUDGE

Steps:

• Grease a 9x5 inch pan. Set aside.
• In a 3 quart saucepan, over very low heat, mix together confectioners sugar, butter, milk, vanilla, and salt until mixture is creamy.
• Pour quickly into greased 9x5 inch pan. Refrigerate until firm, then cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

TRADITIONAL VANILLA FUDGE

Steps:

• Lightly grease and fully line a 20cm (8in) square cake tin.
• Place 300ml (½ pt) double cream, 100ml (3½floz) milk, 100g (3½oz) butter, 300g (10½oz) caster sugar and 150g (5oz) light muscovado sugar into a large heavy-based pan. Place over a low heat. Stir constantly until the butter has melted and the sugars have dissolved.
• Increase the heat under the pan slightly to allow it to gradually come to the boil whilst stirring all of the time. Simmer the mixture, whilst continuing to stir, until it reaches 116°C(241°F) (soft ball stage).
• Once the required temperature has been reached, remove the pan from the heat and leave it undisturbed to cool down to 110°C(230°F). This will only take a couple of minutes.
• Add the vanilla and beat the mixture with the wooden spoon vigorously until the fudge has thickened and has lost its shine.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin. Smooth it into the corners. Set aside to cool at room temperature for two or three hours.
• Once fully cold and firm remove the fudge from the tin. Use a sharp knife to slice the fudge into bite sized pieces.

VANILLA FUDGE

Steps:

• Line a 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside. In a medium sized mixing bowl add the white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and vanilla.
• In a medium sized saucepan add the sugar, evaporated milk and butter. Bring to a boil on medium high heat and let it boil for 10 minutes. I kept stirring mine occasionally with a wire whisk.
• Remove from heat and pour the hot mixture over the white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and vanilla. Stir with a spoon to incorporate. Then with an electric mixer, mix till almost set.
• Pour into your prepared 8x8 inch pan. Place into the fridge for a couple of hours to set. Cut into 2 inch squares.

VANILLA FUDGE

Steps:

• Butter an 8-inch square baking pan; line with parchment paper, allowing a 1-inch overhang. Butter parchment paper, and set aside. Check the calibration of the candy thermometer. Put butter into a large bowl, and set over a wire rack; set aside. Put cream, sugar, corn syrup, and salt into a medium heavy saucepan.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes. Raise heat to medium. Bring mixture to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to preventsugar crystals from forming. Attach warm thermometer to pan; continue to cook, without stirring, until mixture registers 238 degrees (soft-ball stage), 10 to 15 minutes.
• Immediately pour mixture into bowl with butter (do not scrape out the bottom of the pan). Attach thermometer to bowl. Let mixture cool, undisturbed, until it registers 110 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove thermometer. Transfer bowl to a work surface and addvanilla extract. Using a wooden spoon, begin to gently stir mixture until it thickens, lightens in color, and loses its sheen,about 6 minutes.
• Pour into prepared pan. Using a small offset spatula, quickly spread fudge to sides of pan, and smooth top. Let fudge cool in pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Cover with plastic, and refrigerate untilcompletely set, about 8 hours. Run a sharp knife around nonparchment sides to loosen; lift fudge out. Cut into 64 one-inch pieces.

VANILLA FUDGE

Steps:

• Prepare an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan by lining it with greased parchment paper or non-stick foil.
• In a large, microwave-safe bowl place the white chocolate chips and a the can of sweetened condensed milk. Microwave for 90 seconds at 70 percent power. Use the residual heat to stir the mixture well until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. If necessary, microwave for additional 15 second intervals.
• Instead of melting in the microwave, you can also melt the chocolate and milk in the top of a double boiler or in a bowl on top of a saucepan of simmering water.
• Stir in a vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Gently fold in any mix-ins, such as coarsely chopped nuts or dried fruits, if you are using them.
• Pour and spread evenly in the prepared pan. Chill in the refrigerator several hours, until very well set. Cut into squares.

VANILLA FUDGE

Steps:

• Fill a small bowl or jug with ice cold water and put near the stove. Grease a tin of approx. 30 x 20cm / 12 x 8 inch or 25cm / 10 inch square, or use a throwaway foil tin, as I have in the picture. Put all the ingredients, apart from the vanilla, into a large, heavy bottomed pan and bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 12-20 minutes, still stirring all the time, until the mixture is golden and, when a bit is dropped into the water, it turns solid but still squidgy, i.e., till soft-ball stage (see intro). How long this takes depends on how ferociously it bubbles as well as on the properties and dimensions of the pan. This is hot work! When the fudge is at soft-ball stage, very carefully remove the pan from the stove and stir in the vanilla. Preferably using an electric whisk beat for about five minutes, by which time the fudge will have thickened to the texture of stiff peanut butter - this is quite steamy and strenuous - and pour and push into the prepared tin. Smooth the top as well as you can. Put in the fridge to cool, but don't keep it there for more than 2 hours, or it will set too hard, then remove and using a sharp knife, cut into squares. This is not a geometrically accurate term, as you can see from my cutting skills.
