Green Tea & Vanilla Fudge
An original recipe by Not Quite Nigella
-
150ml/5 fl. ozs. cream
-
55grams/2 ozs. of butter
-
2 cups of sugar
-
200g/7 ozs. white marshmallows
-
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
-
350g/12.3 ozs. white chocolate chips
-
2 teaspoons matcha powder
Step 1 - Line a loaf tin with baking paper. In a large heavy based saucepan on low heat, dissolve sugar with cream and butter. Clip the sugar thermometer to the pan. Increase heat to just below medium. Whilst stirring wait until the mixture reaches 238F/118°C (soft ball stage). Be patient, it takes about 10 minutes and the thermometer will sit on 220-230 for what seems like forever. You may get little caramelised bits floating to the top. Knock back the heat a little if there are too many.
Step 2 - Immediately stir in chocolate chips, green tea powder, vanilla paste and marshmallows. Stir with wooden spoon to smooth out mixture. Immediately place in prepared tin (it sets very quickly). Eat while warding off potential fugitives.
