    What You Need

    Just 5 Ingredients! How easy is that!?

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

    The ingredients for caramel fudge.
    • Butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter for this recipe. Margarine is not suitable.
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk - it's important to use full fat sweetened condensed milk (not skim or light) as this helps to set the fudge firm. I find that Nestle brand also sets firmer than home brand versions.
    • Golden Syrup - a sweet and sticky liquid that helps to give the fudge it's delicious caramel flvaour.
    • Brown Sugar - choose either regular brown sugar or dark brown sugar for this recipe. I generally use regular brown sugar.
    • White Chocolate - choose white baking chocolate or chocolate melts for the best results.

    Step By Step Instructions

    This simple Thermomix caramel fudge couldn't be easier to make!

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

    Step 1 - Grate The Chocolate

    Place the white chocolate into the Thermomix bowl and grate finely.

    Set aside in a seperate bowl.

    NOTE: The fudge will be very thick at this stage.

    Step 5 - Chill

    Chill the fudge in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.

    Remove from the fridge and cut into slices.

    FAQ & Expert Tips

    Keep the MC (measuring cup) OFF

    When heating and cooking the fudge, it's important to keep the MC off. This stops the majority of the condensation from dripping back onto the fudge.

    Use full fat sweetened condensed milk

    It's important to use full fat sweetened condensed milk (not light or skim) as it sets firmer.

    Storing

    Store the caramel fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
    Place sheets of baking paper between each layer.

    Freezing

    It's possible to freeze fudge in an airtight container for up to 2 months, however the texture and flavour may change. For best results, keep the fudge in the fridge and consume within 2-3 weeks.

        The general rule of thumb is to add 20% more time for a doubled quantity. You may need to check the consistency after the cook time and add another couple of minutes if it's too runny, but I don't think it will be. Please grate the chocolate in two batches and not all at once!

      I sprinkled a little salt on the top of ⅓ to see what it’s like.

          Hi Jess, milk chocolate will work but the caramel flavour will not come through as strongly as it would with white chocolate.

      Has anyone reduced the sugar in this recipe before. I did like the flavour but found it overly sweet. Would love to try again .

        Hi girls

        I made this fudge last night but after refrigerating overnight it is still somewhat soft. Eg - when slicing the piece comes up with the knife and has some bend in it. It’s set, but pliable - is that correct. I’m wondering if I should set it back into the TM for a further cook time. The taste is delicious !!!

          Hi Fiona, I wouldn't recommend putting it back in the Thermomix. The texture does depend on chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. Choose a good quality white chocolate and ensure that the condensed milk is full fat (not skim). I also find that Nestle brand of condensed milk is much better than home brand for setting firm. I hope that helps for future batches!

      Yes, this is the best recipe, I make this caramel fudge at least twice a week on request from my work colleagues. I also sprinkle sea salt in the bottom of my dish, before I pour the fudge in, this is yummy. I will be making 3 more lots this week before Christmas ?.

      Hi. I've made this recipe many many times however more recently I'm having issues.

      Its as if the butter separates once the choc is added in at the end? A buttery / oily layer appears on top when I put it in the tray. It also sets much harder and when cuts splits like chalk...
      Same brand of products used
      Using a tm5.
      All and any suggestions so appreciated

        Hi Ruth, you might have already seen my reply on Instagram but if not here it is! I haven't ever had this happen before so my suggestions are purely suggestions! I would try mixing it on a slightly higher speed at the end and for a little longer (until it's combined). You could also try and try a different brand of products and see if that helps!
