Creamy Fudge Spread
Creamy Fudge Spread
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 ml) 35% cream
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) maple syrup
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) corn syrup
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 oz (28 g) white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the cream, maple syrup, brown sugar, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Set a candy thermometer in the centre of the saucepan (for example, hanging off a wooden spoon) and simmer over medium heat, without stirring, until the thermometer reads 110°C (230°F). Remove from the heat. Add the chocolate and vanilla but do not stir.
- Place the saucepan in a cold-water bath. Let cool, without stirring, until the thermometer reads 45°C (115°F), about 15 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the water. Using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer, beat vigorously until the mixture turns pale, 1 or 2 minutes.
- Pour into 4 sterilized 125-ml (1/2-cup) jars. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Keep refrigerated.
- Include an attractive knife or spreader with your gift.
- Serve at room temperature.
