The Ultimate Clotted Cream Fudge Recipe
Serves: 40 pieces Prep Time: 30 mins Prep Time: 3 hrs Prep Time: 3.5 hrsMethod
Step 1
Heat the base ingredients: In a heavy-based saucepan, gently heat 250g caster sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla essence, and 80g golden syrup over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2
Reach soft ball stage: Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and cook until it reaches 115°C (240°F) on a sugar thermometer – this is the crucial soft ball stage.
Step 3
Remove from heat: Take the pan off the heat immediately once the correct temperature is reached to prevent overcooking.
Step 4
Add the clotted cream: Quickly stir in 200g Trewithen clotted cream until completely incorporated; this creates the signature creamy texture.
Step 5
Beat until thick: Using a wooden spoon, beat the mixture vigorously for 5-8 minutes until it becomes thick, glossy, and starts to lose its shine and become more matte.
Step 6
Pour and set: Transfer to a baking paper-lined 20cm square tin and smooth the surface with a palette knife
Step 7
Cool completely: Leave at room temperature for 2-3 hours until completely set, then cut into squares and serve.
