Ingredients
Makes 3 1/2 cups
-
3 Cups Granulated Sugar
-
1 1/2 Cups Heavy Cream
-
1/4 Cup Light Corn Syrup
-
1/4 Kosher Salt
-
2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, divided
-
2 Teaspoons Madagascar Vanilla Extract
Directions
-
Melt one tablespoon of butter. Use a brush to butter an 8” square baking pan. Line the pan with parchment allowing for 1” of overhang and butter the parchment, set aside. Place the remaining butter in a medium bowl over a wire rack.
-
Place a pot over medium low heat and add the cream, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and raise the heat to medium bring to a boil. Use a clean brush dipped in water to wash down the insides of the pan to prevent crystals from forming. Insert a thermometer and cook to 238° F (soft-ball) without further stirring.
-
Pour the mixture (without scraping) into the bowl with butter. Transfer the thermometer to this bowl and when it registers 110° F add the vanilla. Remove the thermometer and use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture until it thickens, lightens in color and looses its sheen, about 6 minutes. Transfer this to the prepared pan and use an offset spatula to smooth out the top from end to end.
-
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature before covering tightly with plastic and refrigerating for 8 hours before cutting and removing.
