Description
Maple fudge delights with its simple Canadian-inspired charm. Sweet maple syrup and condensed milk create a creamy, rich dessert that melts smoothly on the tongue.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups/480 ml pure maple syrup
- 1 cup/240 ml heavy cream
- 2 tbsps/30 ml unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preparation: Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, creating overhangs for easy removal of the maple fudge.
- Melting: Combine sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, and white chocolate chips in a medium saucepan. Apply low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning and ensure a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Consistency: Continue heating and stirring until the blend transforms into a glossy, velvety texture with no visible chocolate chip remnants, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Molding: Pour the molten maple mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread evenly and eliminate any trapped air bubbles, creating a perfectly smooth surface.
- Cooling: Let the fudge rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to initiate initial setting, then transfer to the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours until completely firm and sliceable.
- Cutting: Remove the fudge from the refrigerator using parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting surface and slice into uniform bite-sized squares or rectangles with a sharp knife for a polished presentation.
- Serving: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container to preserve the rich, decadent maple flavor and creamy texture.
Notes
- Prevent Scorching: Stir constantly on low heat to avoid burning white chocolate and maple syrup mixture, which can create bitter flavors and ruin texture.
- Smooth Texture Strategy: Ensure no lumps develop by maintaining gentle, consistent stirring and using a silicone spatula for even heat distribution and ingredient incorporation.
- Temperature Control: Keep heat low and steady to prevent separation of ingredients, allowing gradual melting and smooth blending of condensed milk, maple syrup, and chocolate chips.
- Proper Chilling Technique: Refrigerate for minimum 2 hours to achieve perfect firm consistency; avoid cutting or disturbing fudge during cooling process to maintain smooth, clean structure.
