Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk Provides rich creaminess and sweetness; essential for texture.
  • 1 cup Caster Sugar Ensures smoothness and quick dissolving; regular granulated sugar can be used.
  • 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar Adds depth with its molasses-like flavor; light brown sugar can be substituted.
  • 1/4 cup Liquid Glucose or Light Corn Syrup Prevents crystallization; honey can work in a pinch but alters flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Golden Syrup or Brown Rice Syrup Adds sweetness and prevents crystallization; maple syrup can substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Acts as the creamy base; coconut oil can be used for dairy-free.
Chocolate Finish Ingredients
  • 1 cup White Chocolate (Chopped) Imparts sweetness and creaminess; can substitute with milk or dark chocolate.
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Flakes Provides a crunchy finish that enhances sweetness.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • spatula
  • 8x8-inch baking pan

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by lining an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, caster sugar, dark brown sugar, liquid glucose (or corn syrup), golden syrup, and unsalted butter over low heat. Stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes until all ingredients are melted and well combined.
  3. Gently increase the heat to medium, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Simmer for approximately 6-8 minutes until thickened and pulling away from the sides.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped white chocolate and most of the sea salt, continuing to stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  5. Pour the warm fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining sea salt over the top.
  6. Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  7. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using parchment paper and cut into bite-sized squares.
