Super-simple creamy Vanilla Fudge Recipe | Cupcake Jemma

[@SallyGreenaway]

Could you please do a series on nougat? There are several kinds - and I'd especially love to know how to make 2 types: 1. the chewy soft white-ish nougat with pistachios etc. 2. the whipped darker-coloured kind, found in mars bars or milkyway bars

[@mariajoannou9936]

Oh yes

[@Ojb_1959]

Kelp nougat crunch is my favorite 🍍🐡

[@Karras353]

I turned it into coffee and walnut fudge. I replaced the milk with about the same amount of strongly brewed coffee. Espresso might be ideal but I did it using an AeroPress. I used dark brown sugar instead of light. I also added a couple of tablespoons of double cream. I mixed in 100g of chopped walnuts towards the end of the beating stage. Unfortunately I did overshoot into a crumblier consistency and the nuts probably helped with this. But it tastes great. I'd be happier if I could dial in the beating time a bit better but this seems well worth another go. Rum and raisin may be next on the list.

[@darrenlafreniere5518]

Wanted to jump in here with a slight tweak I tried. The recipe as is was amazing!! But I wondered what the taste would be if the butter was added after reaching softball temp. So I tried a batch where I added the butter after the mixture slightly cooled from 235*F, just mixing it in until it melted. It has a little less "burnt butter" flavour, but still the same smooth texture. Maybe something for folks to try!

[@nathanwhale5857]

This is a good recipe Jemma. I love it when you bring back true classics to our screens!

Neither do I cook or bake, I’m here for Jemma’s positive vibes ❤

I’ve always struggled with fudge, but this level of ease excites me! I’ll be trying this over the weekend!!

VANILLA FUDGE recipe [in brackets are my hopeful attempts at conversions for Americans!] - Starts @1:47 - 330g Demerara Sugar + 120g Light Brown Sugar; Demerara is not something I'm familiar with in the US so I would just combine these two & use a total of 450g light brown sugar --- [American: this becomes a total of 2 Cups light brown sugar] - 400g Condensed Milk --- [American: one 14oz can sweetened condensed milk] - 150g Milk --- [American: *5 fluid ounces + 2 tsp, whole milk] (not certain about this amount... see below) - 120g Unsalted Butter --- [American: one stick, aka 1/4 lb, aka 8 Tbsp butter] - 1 tsp Vanilla - Generous Pinch of Salt Cook over Med-Low heat for ~10 to 20 minutes, STIRRING CONSTANTLY with heat-proof spatula, until it reaches desired temperature at 113C to 115C --- [American: 235.4F to 239F] @4:03 - (requires a candy thermometer) - TURN OFF the HEAT @4:20 BEAT on Low-Med speed for a couple minutes, using mixer or wooden spoon, until it changes from translucent to a little more opaque. The longer you mix, the less smooth it becomes, so only about 2 or 3 minutes. Place in prepared pan 24 x 16 cm --- [American: 9.5 x 6.3 inches] that has been sprayed & lined with parchment paper. LET IT COOL WELL before touching it!!! At least 30 minutes. As an American, I have to make some assumptions & attempt conversions. I struggled to figure out how to "long-ways convert" these weights to volumes of ingredients, as weighing ingredients has not previously been customary in the US. From your accent & the measures you give, I'm assuming you are talking Centigrade for the temps. Though, I found it interesting that you actually described the vanilla measured as one teaspoon! I tried converting to American (Imperial) measures & have placed my efforts in brackets above. *You would have to re-check the milk conversion as I am not certain I have that right. A gallon (128 fluid ounces) of milk weighs 8.6 pounds, (which coincidentally is 138 ounces by weight), which would mean that 1 fluid oz of milk should weigh just about 1 ounce by weight! Talk about confusing! Since 150g equals 5.29 ounces (by weight), it LOOKS LIKE 150g of milk is about 5 fluid oz of milk plus 2 teaspoons... or not! YIKES, I gave it my best shot! Thanks for sharing this & God bless!😇 "Easy, Creamy.. Vanilla Fudge" | Cupcake Jemma [11.16.2023]

I've tried making fudge several times in the past without success. I'm excited to give this recipe a try.

[@k.a.t.i.e]

I’ve always assumed that fudge had that crumbly, dry texture you mention because it’s all I’ve ever had but I recently tried some from The Fudge Kitchen and it was the softest and chewiest fudge I’ve ever tried, it was almost like a chocolate brownie in texture and it’s completely changed my view on fudge now! Can’t wait to make this at home🫶🏻

[@emilehoffmann]

Thanks for some of the best fudge that I have ever made!

[@usherl250]

This is my favorite fudge too, we grew up on chocolate fudge, the old fashioned kind and I only eat vanilla fudge which I think tastes more like caramel. So yummy

[@DiaDia18]

Very nice recipie Jemma! They looks amazing! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍴

[@Mary-bg4kx]

Made this and it was delicious! Not grainy at all like some of the commenters mentioned. I used organic cane sugar since Demerara isn't that common in the US.

[@adamwinters448]

Jemma . I love you . I swear i never knew you could do this one in real life

[@amyspeers8012]

I used to make chocolate fudge all the time. My pan had rounded edges that I needed to cut off to make nice squares. My son loved the extra bits and called them fudge butts!

So, I couldn’t wait for the weekend and ended up making this yesterday afternoon…soooo easy and soooo good!!

This is exactly what I needed!! I want to add little chunks of fudge to the cookie recipe you posted last week! I made them and my kids absolutely loved them, but I think some fudge chunks would make them absolutely perfect for our taste 😁❤

[@julietnoronha3065]

[@_J.F_]

Thanks Jemma. I love fudge too and I haven't had any for ages so I will be trying this recipe, probably already tomorrow. UPDATE: I've made them at it was all really easy and fairly quickly to do too. Unfortunately mine turned out a bit more like chewy caramel than fudge, and I was very accurate with the thermometer so I presume I didn't mix it for long enough. Still tastes lovely and chewy caramel isn't bad either but I will give it longer in the mixer next time.

[@ruthkolbach2530]

I had the exact same issue , mine was pale and so soft , not chewy at all : (

Thanks a lot for your answer!🧡 Anna

[@jenniferduparcbraham1392]

She says anywhere between 113 and 115, I believe. It’s very specific which is why she turns off at 115. Hope that helps. ❤

If I wanted to make this chocolate flavored, would I stir in a certain amount of dark chocolate as its cooling down? Or use cocoa?

[@BeckyMa9482]

I've never really liked fudge, except one year my mom made peanut butter fudge for Christmas, and I swear I ate it all. I was so sick. Lol. But I think it's because here in the American Midwest, every little shop seems to sell fudge, and it always seems really dry and overly sweet to me. I do need to make fudge for my cousin's boyfriend's birthday. Can you just add make chocolate or cocoa powder for chocolate fudge?

Hi! I love fudge and I would like to try this recipe. I have a question. The condensed milk looks in the video like sweetened one, is it sweetened? Thank you.

Yes, that’s the one.😉

[@evisam7783]

@@mominetti Thank you for your answer!

[@readyplayer2]

All products labeled condensed milk are sweetened; some brands explicitly call it out in the name, but some don't. If it's unsweetened, the recipe and the label will say "evaporated milk." Another way to tell if evaporated milk or condensed milk is being used is visually -- evaporated milk pours like water or milk, it's thin. Condensed milk is very thick and syrupy from the sugar.

[@evisam7783]

@@readyplayer2 Thank you for your explanations. It's not the same in my country, where "sweetened" is clearly mentioned both in recipes & labels, so it's good to know what is the case in Great Britain or elsewhere.
