Ohhh, it’s like white chocolate sugary milk sweets – JD, 4
I’m a big fan of fellow foodie Fiona MacLean, whose blog, London Unattached is packed with fantastic recipes. I loved her recent post on how to make fudge with step by step pictures, so I thought I’d give it a go.
My version has some tweaks and additions that make it very, very sweet.
Note: although it starts to set as soon as you put it in the tin, you need to let it cool completely unless you want it very soft – I got impatient and it started to melt again under the camera lights!
It’s so moreish I couldn’t possibly admit how much of it I ate. Here’s what to do…
Ingredients
- 100g unsalted butter
- 350g golden granulated sugar
- Seeds of 1 vanilla pod
- 300ml Milk
- 100g white chocolate, finely chopped
Instructions
- Lightly grease a round sandwich tin and set aside
- In a very large pan, gently melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved
- Add the milk and vanilla pod seeds
- Turn up the heat so it boils, stirring all the time – it will froth a lot
- Keep boiling while stirring intermittently
- When the frothing subsides, with the heat still high, it’ll start to thicken
- Keep boiling and stirring until it’s darkened a little and has thickened at least enough to coat the back of a spoon
- Take off the heat and allow o cool for 5 minutes
- Tip in the chocolate and beat until well combined
- Pour into the tin, leave to cool, then chill for a few hours either wrapped in clingfilm or in an airtight container (to keep out other fridge flavours) until firm enough to cut up and eat
Ok, ok. I promise to do healthy recipes next week!
STOP PRESS! I tried another batch this evening with a little lemon juice at the end. SO YUMMY!

Ooh, this looks great! Thanks for sharing it I’ve been looking for a fudge recipe to try to give for Christmas presents and this looks perfect, have you tried freezing it? I’ll be running out for ingredients tomorrow :)
Bet it was lovely.
So nice – and I just tried a batch with lemon juice replacing some of the water content – LUSH!
Wow, real fudge. I haven’t made that since cookery lessons in school and I haven’t even seen it for years. Love vanilla and white chocolate – makes a change from the usual chocolate fudge.
It works well with a dash of lemon too :)
My mouth is literally watering as I read this. Must have a go at making it, Sausage would LOVE it!
Ooh let me know how it goes!
sounds yummy and quite easy too!
Yep – really easy. Just need patience when it’s in the fridge!
I guess I have to try it right away, although I don’t have a round sandwich tin. Anyway, off to the kitchen then. Thank you!
Well, I’m done with it now and had my first taste. It tastes absolutely lovely … so I need to be VERY careful in not finishing it too quickly.
Stop with the lovely recipes! Seriously though that looks amazing!
Sorry, Nikki! I’ll attempt healthy recipes next week – promise!
YES! no oven needed! We’ll make this tomorrow – or should that be today ? either way I am on it!
Come back and post the results!
Emily! Love this recipe.
Thanks! It’s fun to make too – lots of dramatic frothing :)
Looks fabulous. I am NOT making any more till christmas though…as you said it’s SO morish! Then I’ll try a chocolate one and perhaps the walnut and coffee one my mother made!
Thank you for the inspiration! They sound lovely ideas – would make great Christmas presents
