Equipment

Ingredients

250 g vegan condensed milk
250 g light brown sugar
100 g butter I use Flora Unsalted plant butter
100 ml dairy free milk I use soya milk
2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Weigh out all the ingredients into a large non stick saucepan.
Add the pan to the hob and on a high heat begin to melt together, this will take about 2-3 minutes.
Once your fudge liquid has started to rapid boil (lots of bubbles rolling into the centre of the pan), turn the heat down to medium-high and set the alarm for 10 minutes.
Check to see in the fudge liquid is a thick sticky liquid, it should be a golden caramel brown. if not, add another 5 minutes to the timer.
TOP TIP: Pour the liquid fudge into a large glass bowl - removing from the saucepan will help to cool the liquid quicker and reduce the time you have to beat like crazy.
The next stage is to beat the mixture to speed up the cooling process and aid the sugar crystals to form.
I begin to whisk the liquid fudge with a large whisk to speed things up. Once the mixture start to thicken and become hard to work with, change the whisk for a silicone spatula and continue to beat.
After 8-10 minutes you will have a beautiful lump of warm silky fudge that simply falls off the spatula. Now you are ready to transfer to your prepared tin.
Press the still warm fudge into the edges of the lined 20 x 20 square tin. this is a thin fudge ideal for small portion sizes and topping with decorations.
If decorating allow to cool to hand temperature before adding anything otherwise you'll end up with a melted mess.
Pop the fudge in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to harden off. Once set you can cut into portions - I've cut mine 4 x 4 to give the family 18 pieces of delicious fudge.
