    Say hello to the sweetest, creamiest, rum-flavoured fudge!

    Just like our homemade Baileys, Kahlua Brownies and Chocolate Baileys Cocktail, this boozy rum and raisin fudge is completely adults-only!

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    This decadent Thermomix Rum & Raisin Fudge is always a hit!

    • Make ahead of time - fudge can be made up to 3 weeks ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Place sheets of baking paper between the layers of fudge to avoid them sticking to one another.
    • Feeds a crowd - as we all know, fudge is incredibly rich and sweet! This means it's the perfect option for large dinner parties or celebrations.
    • Suitable to all Thermomix models - you can make our Thermomix Rum & Raisin Fudge in any of the Thermomi machine models.
    • Adults - Only - this means that there's no sharing! Yay!

    What You Need

    Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    The ingredients for rum and raisin fudge.
    • Rum - You can use any type of rum for this recipe (white, gold or dark). I generally recommend using a darker rum (like Captain Morgan).
    • Raisins - these are larger than sultanas and soak up the rum when heated. Alternatively, you can use sultanas if that's what you have on hand.
    • Chocolate - I recommend using a good quality milk or dark chocolate (like Cadbury, Lindt, Nestle or Hersheys.
    • Raw Sugar - also known as granulated sugar.
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk - use full fat (not skim) sweetened condensed milk as it sets firmer.
    • Butter - use salted or unsalted butter.
    • Almonds - use roasted (not natural or raw) almonds for the best taste and crunch!

    Step By Step Instructions

    It's SO easy to make Thermomix Rum & Raisin Fudge!

    Please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Infuse The Raisins With Rum

    Place the rum and raisins into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30 second bursts (2-3 bursts). Set aside while you prepare the fudge.

    Step 2 - Grate The Chocolate

    Start by grating the milk (or dark) chocolate. Set aside in a seperate bowl.

    Expert Tips

    • Use a good quality chocolate - it makes a huge difference to the final product. I recommend Cadbury, Nestle or Lindt.
    • Use roasted (not natural or raw) almonds - you can buy these from the supermarket.
    • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the rum and replace with water when heating the raisins.
    • Once cooked, the fudge will set very quickly - make sure your tin is prepared ahead of time.
    • Be careful as the mixture will be extremely hot when transferring to the baking tin!
    • Storing - fudge can be made up to 3 weeks ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Place sheets of baking paper between the layers of fudge to avoid them sticking to one another.

    FAQs

    Can I make a non-alcoholic version of this?

    Absolutely! Simply replace the rum with water when heating the raisins.

    What kind of rum should I use?

    You can use any type of rum for this recipe (white, gold or dark). I generally recommend using a darker rum (like Captain Morgan).

    What is Varoma temperature?

    Varoma is a temperature of 114 degrees celsius on the Thermomix machine. When you turn the temperature dial up to the highest setting, it will say Varoma (sometimes referred to as steaming temperature).

      Hi,
      I made this last year and was absolutely delicious! Mine was very soft though, should I have left the measuring cup out while cooking? Thanks for the great recipe!
