This strawberry fudge from Where Is My Spoon is a little different to many of the other recipes on this list as it contains the interesting added ingredient of marshmallow fluff.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is The Secret To Perfect Fudge?

There are a number of important tips to keep in mind when trying to make the perfect fudge. Listed below are five of the most prominent:

1. Try to use a heavy pan that can distribute heat well, otherwise you run the risk of your mixture sticking during cooking.

2. At the beginning of cooking, it’s a good idea to brush the sides of the pan with a wet brush to help dissolve any sugar crystals that stick to the sides.

3. Try and avoid stirring the mixture during cooking as this can lead to sugar crystallization and the mixture becoming grainy.

4. Make sure you let the mixture cool to around 109 to 113 °F/ 43 to 45 °C before beating. In other words, the fudge should be warm but not scorching hot.

5. When the surface of your fudge looks dull or matte, stop beating and immediately pour it into a pre-lined or buttered mould to let it cool completely.

How Long Should You Simmer Fudge For?

Ideally, you should boil your fudge until the temperature reaches around 234 and 237 °F/ ​​112 and 114 °C on your chosen candy thermometer.

If you don’t have a candy thermometer on hand, allow the mixture to boil for between seven and eight minutes, but don’t let it exceed nine.

Why Does My Fudge Taste Grainy?

Your fudge is grainy because there are some large crystals inside of it. If you want to avoid the formation of these seed crystals, try and allow the fudge to completely cool without stirring it.

Should Fudge Be Refrigerated After Being Made?

There’s no requirement to refrigerate fudge after making it because it’ll keep just fine at room temperature.

However, if you prefer your fudge to be cold, keeping it in the fridge won’t make any difference to the quality of the fudge.

Just keep in mind that if you keep your fudge refrigerated, it’s imperative that you keep it in an airtight container as the cold air will dry the fudge out quicker.

In Summary

From using cake batter to freeze dried strawberries, who knew that there was so many different ways of incorporating that strawberry into fudge.
