This SCD White Chocolate Fudge is a nice, soft candy to serve for special occasions. It’s easy to make.
How do you make SCD fudge?
The key to this soft SCD fudge is making sweetened, condensed coconut milk (instructions in the recipe below) and beating the mixture to get the right consistency. It takes a litte time, but this fudge has such a cool, velvety texture, it’s totally worth it.
One important thing to remember is to keep the heat fairly low while making the candy. If it’s too hot it will burn or it will get too hard.
What kind of nut butter do you use to make SCD Fudge?
You can use any kind of nut butter you like. Cashew is the mildest flavor and will allow the fudge to taste most like the extract you use. Macadamia nut butter adds decadence to it. Almond or peanut butter also make a great fudge.
How do you make sweetened, condensed coconut milk?
Making the condensed coconut milk couldn’t be easier. You just need a 14 oz. can of coconut milk and some honey. You bring the coconut milk to a boil, add the honey, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes until the liquid is reduced by half
