Serves 20

Ingredients

Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Clotted cream
225 grams
Golden syrup
100 grams
Granulated sugar
450 grams

Instructions

  1. Line a 20cm square tin with baking parchment and set aside for later use.
  2. In a large, heavy-based saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, golden syrup, clotted cream, and salt. Apply low heat and stir the mixture frequently until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer very gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously. The mixture will start to thicken and should reach the 'soft-ball' stage.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the fudge mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Once cooled, beat the mixture with a spoon for a few minutes until it starts to thicken and loses its gloss. This process, known as 'graining', gives the fudge its traditional texture.
  6. Pour the thickened fudge mixture into the prepared tin and leave it to cool completely.
  7. After the fudge is completely cold, cut it into small squares. Store the fudge in an airtight container.
  8. Enjoy your homemade, traditional British Clotted Cream Fudge!

Tips

  • 💡 The 'soft-ball' stage refers to a specific point in the heating of a sugar syrup, representing a temperature of about 235-240F (112-116C). At this stage, a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water will form a soft, flexible ball.
  • 💡 If you can't find golden syrup, you can substitute it with light corn syrup.
  • 💡 Clotted cream is a thick, rich cream made by indirectly heating full-cream cow's milk. It has a minimum fat content of 55%.
