Fudge Ingredients
- 60 grams (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 240 ml (1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) molasses
- 135 grams (3/4 cup) brown sugar
- 300 grams (2 cups) good quality white chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Grease an 8-inch square pan thoroughly and line it with baking or parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the butter, sweetened condensed milk, molasses, and brown sugar. Stir continuously until well combined.
- Dissolve Sugar & Simmer: Increase heat to medium, continuing to stir until the brown sugar fully dissolves. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until it thickens noticeably, making sure to stir to prevent burning.
- Add Chocolate & Spices: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the chopped white chocolate, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of salt. Return the pan to medium heat and stir continuously until the chocolate completely melts and the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the fudge to fully set.
- Slice & Store: Once set, gently remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into small squares and store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it fresh.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate for best flavor and smooth texture.
- Ensure to stir continuously while cooking to avoid burning the sugar mixture.
- For a softer fudge, reduce chilling time slightly; for firmer fudge, chill overnight.
- Fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Feel free to adjust spices to preference for a milder or stronger gingerbread flavor.
