Traditional South African Fudge (how to make fudge) | Just Anya

#southafrica #fudge #traditional #baking #dessert
Fudge is so tasty!
If you also want to make this, I used the recipe below:
Fudge:
Ingredients:
1 can condensed milk (385g)
400g castor sugar
25 ml golden syrup
75 ml water
60g butter
1 tsp vanilla essence
pinch of salt
Directions:'
In a large pot over low heat add in the water and sugar and keep stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Add in the butter and syrup.
Mix until the butter melts.
Add in the condensed milk and mix (for a very long time) until the temperature is between 112-118 degrees celsius on a candy thermometer. If you don't have a candy thermometer, drop a litte of the mixture into a glass of cold water and a soft ball of syrup should form, this is called the soft ball stage. If a ball has not formed, cook for a while longer and test again.
Remove from the heat and place into a sink filled about half way with cold water and mix until the mixture a thick. crystallization should occur.
Spoon mixture into a lined baking tin, cut indentations into the frudge.
Allow to cool completely, cut into squares.
Énjoy some Traditional South African Fudge !

Finally someone who knows how to make actual south african fudge!!!!!!

[@sanaullah6911]

What is it specifically that makes this South African? It looks very similar to many other recipes.

[@ilsesmith9493]

@@sanaullah6911 +There are different recipes. This is just one of them. Mine is different (much easier without all that stirring). But you are right. It is the same as many other recipes I've seen from other countries.

[@SingingSealRiana]

how is it special? I can not detect any difference to the recipes I came across elsewhere . . .

It’s all in the texture, melts in your mouth!

This is awesome. I'm an American who's doing a "bakes around the world" plate for people for Christmas because I'm fckn broke this year, and I was having trouble finding an African recipe that used ingredients my boring American family would like (and that I could actually find)! Thanks, Anya!

[@JustAnya22]

Happy holidays!

[@madhatter8237]

Perfect! No chocolate or fridge in sight 👏👏👏

[@ysl6194]

Tried the recipe with some changes. I reduced the sugar to 300gram, added a splash of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Flavour is good but still super sweet for my liking. Thanks for sharing anyway.

[@JustAnya22]

Wonderful!

[@rvnwithgrace4794]

@JustAnya …. Hello from Louisiana!!! I tried this and it was SUPERB!! It is truly like the honey fudge they sell in Cape Town South Africa! Do you know what packs of the honey fudge I’m speaking of? They sell them in lil rectangle packs at nearly all the stores. I’ve been trying to get a recipe and figure out how you guys have it to where it melts in your mouth, the texture is very unique. Here in the USA there’s none like it! It was a huge hit, my daughter-in-law is from Cape Town and she said it’s exactly like it but only better! The best ever! Is this a family recipe?

[@alexhacker5562]

I followed this step by step and watched the video a few times while making this,brings back my childhood memories, thank Anya

[@JustAnya22]

My pleasure 😊

[@hibernogirl]

This is the recipe I have been making for over 50 yrs ... recipe from a pkt of Stork (used instead of Butter). I wait a bit at the end for mix to cool a bit before that final beating so it does not take so long.

[@JustAnya22]

Thanks for sharing

[@Belinda.]

So it's butter, sugar, syrup, condensmilk, vanilla extract

[@Fluffy-777]

Hello, whats a golden syrup substitute? How necessary is it for the final product?

[@JustAnya22]

you can use karo syrups in its place.

[@carlastephens8053]

Since this has no chocolate like our USA traditional fudge, what is the flavor?? It reminds me of caramel. Looks yummy😂

I have exactly the same recipe but in stead of mixing so much with the hand you can whisk it towards the end with an electric hand mixer, so much quicker and easier. I always get compliments for the fudge and I belief this is the best recipe

[@lumkamoyake3038]

How do I fix it because mine has a toffee texture....

[@JustAnya22]

To soften hard fudge, warm up the fudge in a pan, adding in 1 cup of water, and recook and re-beat your fudge. Take care to heat it to no more than the soft-ball temperature. When beating the fudge, stop beating as soon as your fudge becomes difficult to stir. hope this helps, let me know.

[@lumkamoyake3038]

@@JustAnya22 thank you so so much. Will definitely do as you say.

[@leesteele666]

My toffee always turns out too sticky I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[@JustAnya22]

Iv had this happen to me once before, I ended up with a sticky mess even after hours in the fridge, I found the reason for my fudge being to sticky was because I did not cook it long enough and it did not reach the soft ball stage which is very important when making fudge. Now when I make fudge I always do the soft ball test, Have a glass of cold water on the counter and drop some of the fudge mixture in, if it hold it shape yet is still mendable then you will have the perfect fudge. hope you try to make it again, all the best !

hate to tell some if you that are so excited about this "S. African" fudge that is is no different than any other fudge...fudge is made like this anyway you look at it..

[@airyrelic43]

Not really, the fudge made in the US doesn't need as much stirring and usually involves chocolate, and the UK versions don't use syrup for example, but do follow the same methodology. Other recipes also show using liquid glucose, or corn syrup. If you do a simple fudge search on youtube, you'll get countless recipes for making fudge, while the base method remains the same: melt sugar, add other stuff, agitate the heck out of it.
