Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 cups sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Butter an 8-inch square baking pan; line with parchment paper, allowing a 1-inch overhang. Butter parchment paper, and set aside. Check the calibration of the candy thermometer. Put butter into a large bowl, and set over a wire rack; set aside. Put cream, sugar, corn syrup, and salt into a medium heavy saucepan.
  • Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes. Raise heat to medium. Bring mixture to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to preventsugar crystals from forming. Attach warm thermometer to pan; continue to cook, without stirring, until mixture registers 238 degrees (soft-ball stage), 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Immediately pour mixture into bowl with butter (do not scrape out the bottom of the pan). Attach thermometer to bowl. Let mixture cool, undisturbed, until it registers 110 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove thermometer. Transfer bowl to a work surface and addvanilla extract. Using a wooden spoon, begin to gently stir mixture until it thickens, lightens in color, and loses its sheen,about 6 minutes.
  • Pour into prepared pan. Using a small offset spatula, quickly spread fudge to sides of pan, and smooth top. Let fudge cool in pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour. Cover with plastic, and refrigerate untilcompletely set, about 8 hours. Run a sharp knife around nonparchment sides to loosen; lift fudge out. Cut into 64 one-inch pieces.

CREAMY RICH WALNUT FUDGE



Creamy Rich Walnut Fudge image

Usually when you cook sugar to the softball stage you want it to stay nice and pliable and clear. But in the case of fudge you actually want to cook it to softball for the chewy-ness, and then agitate it by mixing, which starts re-inverting it back to crystalline form. It should be in very tiny crystals.

I love fudge, but sometimes I just don't want all that chocolate....don't tell anyone I said that!!!! This is a great fudge, minus the chocolate. I found this recipe in TOH and did a make over on it to suit my taste. The original recipe calls for pecans, but we prefer walnuts in our fudge.

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 jar marshmallow creme
8 oz vanilla almond bark
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans

Steps:

  • Line 9 x 13 pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray or butter
  • In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, be sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Bring to a boil and stir occasionally for 7 minutes.

  • Mix in nuts until combined, and then pour mixture into prepared dish. Spread with spatula until smooth.
  • Refrigerate for two hours.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth and creamy fudge, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir the mixture constantly while cooking.
  • Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the fudge. This will ensure that it reaches the correct stage and prevents it from becoming too hard or too soft.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check the doneness of the fudge by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball that holds its shape, the fudge is ready.
  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality vanilla extract and walnuts. You can also add other flavors, such as chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts.
  • To prevent the fudge from crystallizing, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Conclusion:

Vanilla walnut fudge is a classic and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can create a smooth, creamy, and flavorful fudge that will be enjoyed by everyone.
