White chocolate fudge
White chocolate fudge is a rich, melt-in-the-mouth confection made with white chocolate, condensed milk, butter and golden syrup. The Thermomix TM7 melts the chocolate gently without burning, weighs every ingredient to the gram and mixes the sugary mass into a silky, creamy fudge that sets firmly. An ideal homemade sweet for gifts, parties or festive treat boxes.
About this recipe
White chocolate fudge with the Thermomix TM7 is one of those nostalgic sweets that suddenly becomes wonderfully achievable when you own an all-in-one kitchen machine. Classic fudge recipes demand constant stirring of a hot sugar mixture, but here the TM7 takes over the hard work: the built-in scale weighs the condensed milk, glucose syrup and golden syrup straight into the mixing bowl, while the gentle melting function turns white chocolate and unsalted butter into a glossy, lump-free base without a single seized moment. The result is a dense yet creamy fudge with a buttery, caramel-tinged sweetness that slices cleanly and melts on the tongue. Searching for fudge recipes for a festive dessert table, homemade gift boxes or a children's party will lead you straight to this kind of confection, and rightly so. Make a double batch, cut it into neat cubes and watch it disappear.
Preparation tips
- Line your tin with baking parchment before you start, leaving an overhang on two sides so the set fudge lifts out in one piece for clean, sharp cubes of white chocolate fudge.
- Cut the white chocolate into small, even pieces before melting so it combines quickly and evenly with the condensed milk and butter, giving the fudge a silky texture without any lumps.
- Store the set fudge in an airtight container between layers of parchment; it keeps beautifully for a week and makes an impressive homemade gift wrapped in cellophane with ribbon.
Recipe variations
- Vanilla snowflake fudge: add a scraped vanilla pod and a pinch of sea salt to the white chocolate and condensed milk base, then sprinkle flakes of sea salt on top before setting for a festive sweet-and-salty finish.
- Cranberry and pistachio fudge: stir chopped dried cranberries and roasted pistachios through the mixture just before pouring, giving the creamy white chocolate fudge bursts of tartness, colour and crunch.
