Creamy Fudge

This is incredibly creamy and delicious

Very simple to make but you must follow the instructions 

paying special attention to timing 

INGREDIENTS

1lb caster sugar

4fl ozs milk

1 tsp salt

1 Can condensed milk

1 tsp vanilla essence

METHOD

line a 6" x 9 1/2" tin with parchment paper

Place the sugar and milk in a heavy bottom saucepan 

stir on medium heat for 2 mins until sugar is dissolved

( stir a little longer 30 seconds, if sugar is still grainy)

Add salt and condensed milk and let it start to bubble

Stir constantly bubbling mixture for 7 mins

it should be a light butterscotch colour

if you feel it is still pale stir for 1 minute longer 

but keep watching so it doesn't burn

gently stir in vanilla essence

**NOW THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT**

pour into bowl and allow to cool for 5-6 mins

when cooled whip for 1-2 mins until thick and creamy 

quickly pour into tin to set

if it starts to set mid pour 

place a sheet of grease proof paper on top and press down to smooth it out

leave to set 10 mins

turn out and cut into squares

this will keep in an airtight container for a good few days

**whipping the mixture while it is still hot will make the fudge grainy and sandy

also transferring it to a clean bowl before you whip it helps cut down on the risk of graininess

if you follow thos 2 instructions you shouls get thick and creamy fudge**
