Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Ingredients
- 450g White chocolate
- 397g Carnation Condensed Milk
- Few drops Natural raspberry extract
- Red or pink food colouring
- 1 tbsp (5g) Freeze dried raspberries
Additional Materials
- 20cm square tin
- Baking parchment
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate and Condensed Milk: Break or chop the white chocolate into small chunks and place them in a non-stick saucepan with the condensed milk. Gently heat over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is smooth and silky. Alternatively, melt in the microwave using 10-20 second bursts, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add Raspberry Flavor and Color: Add a few drops of natural raspberry extract to the melted mixture and stir well to incorporate the flavor evenly. Divide the mixture into two separate bowls.
- Color One Portion: Add red or pink food colouring to one of the bowls and mix thoroughly until the color is consistent.
- Prepare the Baking Tin: Line the 20cm square tin with baking parchment ensuring it overlaps the sides to aid lifting the fudge out once set.
- Create Marbled Effect: Spoon dollops of the plain and colored fudge alternately into the prepared tin. Use a knife to gently swirl the two colors together to create a marbled effect.
- Add Freeze-Dried Raspberries: Press the freeze-dried raspberries into the top of the fudge to decorate and add texture.
- Chill and Set: Place the tin in the refrigerator and chill for 1-2 hours or until the fudge is completely set and firm.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the tin using the overlapped parchment and cut into desired sized pieces. Store the fudge in the fridge and consume within 2 weeks for best freshness.
Notes
- Use a non-stick saucepan to avoid sticking and burning when melting chocolate.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize or burn quickly.
- If natural raspberry extract is unavailable, raspberry puree can be used but may alter texture.
- Freeze-dried raspberries add both crunch and visual appeal; avoid substituting with fresh raspberries as they may release moisture and affect setting.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Allow the fudge to come to room temperature briefly before serving for softer texture if preferred.
