Fondant sweets are a divine delicacy. The sheer range of stores drives the sweet tooth crazy and confuses them by providing a huge selection that is so hard to come by. Despite the high calorie content of sweets, they always have whole armies of fans. We offer to alleviate remorse a little and cook sweets in our kitchen - so we, if we do not reduce their energy value, at least we will be sure of the naturalness of the composition.

Variety of recipes

Let's consider several cooking recipes, each of which claims to be a classic. Each one makes the perfect treat. Choose for yourself the one that seems closer to you or try them all.

According to all recipes, the dessert is prepared without baking, simply and quickly. Heat treatment only for the preparation of the mixture. Then it cools, becomes hard and turns into fudge.

Variety of colors and flavors

Candies prepared according to each of the recipes can be used as an independent dessert, or you can cook something else based on them, for example, glazed fondant candies, filling them with chocolate icing.

If you wish, you can complicate the recipe, diversify its taste by changing the composition at your discretion. Suitable spices such as ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon or vanilla can be added during the preparation phase of the mixture. Before hardening, you can add nuts, candied fruits or some other filler.

Why not change the color and make the usual fudge extravagant? Add natural dyes to your taste during the preparation of the mixture.

Favorite recipe - with condensed milk

The first recipe - the most favorite and simple - is fondant sweets with condensed milk. To make these sweets, you only need a few ingredients:

1. A little condensed milk - a quarter cup.
2. A little more milk - half a glass.
3. Sugar - 3 cups.
4. Pinch of s alt.
5. About 100 grams of butter per candy.
6. A little butter for greasing the pan.

Cooking:

1. We take a small form, rectangular, as for a cake. Lubricate it with oil. Putting aside for now.
2. We will cook in a saucepan or something similar: a shallow saucepan or a deep frying pan will also work.
3. Mix the specified amount of milk and sugar in a heated saucepan. Continue heating over heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. You will see milk foam on the surface.
4. Add butter, condensed milk and s alt. Continue heating and stirring vigorously until the mixture begins to darken. It will begin to thicken and take on a creamy hue, notifying you that it is almost ready. Turn off the heat, stir well again.
5. Leave for a few minutes to allow the fudge to thicken a little more, then pour into the prepared pan.
6. After the dessert has stood for another 10 minutes, it will be ready so that it can be divided into small portions. Usually these are small cubes 1.5–2 cm in size.
7. About 30 more minutes and you can try, done!

White Chocolate Fudge

The recipe has many interpretations. In any case, you will get a delicious delicacy. The next version of the recipe for making fondant sweets differs from the previous one in both the composition and the cooking process. All actions are simple and accessible.

Products:

1. Butter about 100 grams and a little to lubricate the form.
2. 300 grams of condensed milk.
3. 70 grams of honey.
4. 150 grams of sugar (brown for nice color and flavor).
5. 350 grams of white chocolate.

Cooking:

1. To begin with, we will also prepare the form, grease it with oil.
2. Put butter, condensed milk, honey andsugar. We put on medium fire. We are waiting for heating, and then the moment when all the products are melted. Stir constantly and make sure that the mass does not burn, otherwise reduce the fire.
3. When all the products are melted, the mass becomes homogeneous, starts to bubble and thickens a little, turn off the heat and add white chocolate. If you used chocolate with a bar, then of course you need to break it as finely as possible - because now we need it to dissolve too. Stir for results. If the mass has had time to cool down, and the chocolate still has not merged with it, you can turn on the fire again for a short while.
4. Pour the resulting mass into a mold and put it in the refrigerator to cool and reach the desired consistency. This will take about an hour. After this time, remove the mass from the refrigerator and turn it into fondant sweets by cutting into pieces.

Creamy fudge like in childhood

Another recipe. According to it, you can get a very simple dessert with a taste familiar to sweet lovers from childhood. We will need:

1. Heavy cream - 200 grams.
2. Sour cream - 8-9 tablespoons.
3. 70 grams of milk powder.
4. 7-8 tablespoons of sugar.
5. 150 grams of butter.
6. Vanillin sachet.

The process of making fudge is similar to the previous ones:

1. Melt butter and sugar in a saucepan, add vanilla.
2. After everything dissolves, add sour cream, cream and cook, stirring, for another 15 minutes.
3. Pour in the milk, keep stirring and cook until the mixture thickens slightly.
4. Turn off the fire - almost done.
5. In a mold greased with oil or lined with baking paper, place our workpiece and put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours.

As you can see, there are more than enough recipes. Making fondant candies is very easy.
