Ingredients:

  • 395gm Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
  • 150ml coconut milk
  • 450g coconut sugar (or demerara)
  • 115g nuttelex
  • 1 cup peanut butter

You will also need…

  • 20cm square tin lined with baking paper

Method:

  1. Place the ingredients (except peanut butter) into a large non-stick saucepan and melt over a low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Bring to the boil then simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously and scraping the base of the pan. Take care while the mixture boils and during stirring as the fudge will be VERY hot! To see if it’s ready, drop a little of the mixture into a jug of ice-cold water. A soft ball of fudge should form. Alternatively, check with a sugar thermometer if you have one (the fudge should be approximately 118°C).
  3. Remove the fudge from the heat, add peanut butter and beat until it’s very thick and starting to set (this should take about 10 minutes).
  4. Pour into the prepared tin and leave to cool before cutting into squares.
  5. Enjoy and share!
