Vegan vanilla fudge

A can of vegan condensed milk (320g can) or Homemade Condensed coconut milk

75g/⅓ cup dairy free butter

75g/less than ½ cup caster sugar

1 tbsp golden syrup (maple syrup or corn syrup can alternatively be used but these will alter the flavour)

2 tsp vanilla essence

*** Method ***

• Put the condensed milk, caster sugar, syrup and butter into a saucepan.
• Stir constantly over a low heat until sugar melt. Stir constantly to prevent burning. this will take approximately 10/15 minutes.
• The mixture will thicken as the sugar and syrup melts.
• Continue stirring over medium heat until colour changes to a ‘caramel’. This will not take very long so watch carefully as it can easily burn.
• Put in moulds to set or spread on line tray to set. Leave overnight before removing from moulds or cutting.
• The fudge will keep for up to a week in a air tight container.

*** Alternatives ***

• Add chopped nuts once you get the caramel colour.
• Line moulds in chocolate prior to adding fudge
• Role fudge into balls and cover in either icing sugar or cocoa powder
