This homemade fudge with cream and golden syrup is a treat for adults, with currant liqueur swirled in at the end. Sugar, milk, cream, and syrup are cooked until the mixture reaches 115 °C (239 °F), then cooled for ten minutes and beaten until thick and matte. Golden syrup is available at natural food stores; you can substitute spelt, date, or agave syrup. The candy sets in an 18 × 18 cm pan and also makes a good gift.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Line an 18 × 18 cm pan with parchment paper.
Combine the sugar, milk, cream, and golden syrup in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches 115 °C (239 °F).
Remove from the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. Beat with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes, until thick and matte. Add the liqueur and swirl it decoratively into the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and let set at room temperature for about 2 hours.
Turn the set fudge out of the pan and cut into cubes.

Tip: Without a candy thermometer, use the cold-water test: when a drop of the mixture can be rolled into a soft ball in cold water, it has reached the right temperature. Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
