Simple peanut butter fudge recipe with condensed milk

Great fudge! It worked out really well.  Now made a few times, once it didn’t set well but longer in the fridge sorted that.

Ingredients

Method


Smooth or crunchy peanut butter

20 cm square tin, lined with baking parchment

Step 1 of 4

Simple peanut butter fudge recipe with condensed milk

Place the condensed milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract and butter in a non-stick saucepan. Melt the ingredients gently over a low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and silky.

Step 2 of 4

Turn the heat up and bring the fudge to the boil for 2 minutes – stirring all the time to prevent it sticking to the pan. The mixture should thicken and start to come away from the sides of the pan.

Step 3 of 4

Remove from the heat and sieve in the icing sugar and mix thoroughly (you can use an electric whisk if you like). Pour the fudge into the tin and smooth over the top with the back of a spoon.

Step 4 of 4

Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour or until set, then cut it into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.

If the fudge isn't setting once in the tin, pour or spoon it back into the pan and bring it up to the boil once more before returning it to your tin, cooling then placing it in the fridge or freezer to set.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kate G from Delicious Made this for my colleagues at work who absolutely adore it. At first it wouldn't set properly, but this was resolved by just putting it back into the pan and boiling it further. On my second attempt at making this, it worked fine first time! Once I've made it, I place it in the freezer and it sets within 10/15mins. So quick and easy to make. Will definitely be making it for friends and family at Xmas. Could you please tell me if this is freezable? If so how long for?

Rated 5 out of 5 by GilliansKitchen from Scrumptious Fudge Simple and one of the easiest recipes for Fudge. My Tip would be to use a large surface pan as it cooks much quicker.

Is fudge better with condensed milk or evaporated milk?

Unfortunately, you cannot use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk in fudge. You can substitute evaporated milk for regular milk in many instances, but it will not give the same rich, creamy taste that you get from the sweetened condensed milk.

Does fudge made with sweetened condensed milk need to be refrigerated?

The fudge will stay good at room temperature for up to 3 days. If kept in the fridge, the fudge will stay good for up to 5 days.

How do you thicken fudge with condensed milk?

Add a mixture of water and cornstarch. First, combine water and cornstarch (1:1) and mix thoroughly according to package instructions. Then, add a very small amount of the mixture to your fudge (less than ¼ teaspoon at a time), combining thoroughly. Cornstarch is a natural thickening agent and is relatively tasteless.

Why is my condensed milk fudge grainy?

Once a seed crystal forms, it grows bigger and bigger as the fudge cools. A lot of big crystals in fudge makes it grainy. By letting the fudge cool without stirring, you avoid creating seed crystals.
