Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 ml) Natrel Lactose Free 35% Whipping Cream
- 1½ cups light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- 1 cup chopped toasted walnuts (optional)
Preparation
- Prepare an 8” x 8” pan by buttering it all over and then line it with parchment paper that hangs over two of the sides. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the whipping cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar and maple syrup on medium-low, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Stop stirring when the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved. Continue heating the mixture until it reaches 239ºF (115ºC), then take the pan off the heat.
- Scatter the nuts over the hot fudge mixture and let rest at room temperature for another 10 minutes to cool slightly. Stir the fudge mixture for 5 to 10 minutes, until it becomes quite thick and has lost some of its shine. Quickly transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared 8” x 8” pan and smooth it out as fast as you can.
- Let the fudge set for 1 hour minimum at room temperature before cutting it into small pieces.
