Creamy chocolate and raspberry fudge

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 20-30 minutes

 A gorgeous melt in your mouth sensation with this soft creamy fudge! Chocolate flavoured with a sweet sprinkle of freeze dried raspberries.

Ingredients

50g unsalted butter
300ml double cream
150ml milk
100g chocolate chips (milk or dark)
45ml water
450g sugar
Freeze dried raspberries
20cm/8in shallow square tin
Sugar thermometer

Method:

1. Grease a 20cm /8in shallow square tin. Weigh out your sugar, milk, cream, butter and water into one bowl and then add into a heavy pan. Heat very gently stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved.

2. When all your sugar has dissolved bring it to boil, still stirring occasionally. Use your sugar thermometer to check when your mixture reaches just under the soft ball stage (113°C/230°F).

3. Once at this temperature take your pan off the heat. Add the chocolate and mix until dissolved. Once dissolved pour your mixture into your greased tin and sprinkle your freeze dried raspberries on top. Leave out on a cooling rack for about an hour.

4. Once cooled place in fridge until solid. Once solid take out your fudge and turn out onto a chopping board and slice into cubes.

There you go your fudge is all done. Now you can enjoy with your friends and family, or you could give them as gifts by placing them in clear cellophane bags, tied with ribbons.

Enjoy! :-P x
