Homemade Biscoff fudge recipe | Cooking with my kids (1)

Biscoff fudge combines the caramel flavour of Biscoff with the smooth deliciousness of homemade condensed milk fudge. If you love Biscoff biscuits, you’ll love this fudge!

It’s so quick to make and with only four ingredients, really really easy.

You don’t need to worry about heating the ingredients to a certain temperature. Nope, you just melt everything together and leave it to set. It’s really as simple as that.

In fact, leaving it for a few hours to firm up is probably the hardest part of this recipe!

What is Biscoff?

Biscoff spread is the great caramel taste of Lotus Biscoff biscuits in the form of a spread. It’s literally crushed biscuits turned into a cookie butter (invented by an enterprising Belgian Mum).

You should be able to find it in your local supermarket, or purchase it online.

You can use Biscoff in all sorts of baking like our Biscoff millionaires shortbread, Biscoff blondies, Biscoff stuffed cookies, Biscoff cheesecake, Biscoff cupcakes or Biscoff brownies but this fudge is probably the easiest.

How can kids help make Biscoff fudge?

This is a really simple recipe meaning kids can help with all of it.

Once your kids have broken up the white chocolate and measured out the remaining ingredients they can help melt it all together.

The melting is perhaps not a job for very young children, but if you have older children you trust around a cooker they should manage this.

Children of all ages can enjoy breaking up the biscuits and adding them on top.

Can you use a microwave?

Yes. I like melting everything together gently on a double boiler but if you prefer you can use a microwave.

Simply pop everything into a microwavable bowl and heat it in 30 second intervals. Stir it in between each microwave blast and stop when everything has melted and come together.

How to make Biscoff fudge

Get your kids to help line an 8 inch / 20cm square baking tin. We found the easiest way of doing this was to cut a strip of baking paper the width of the tray and lay it one way, then do the same with another sheet the other way.

Melt the fudge ingredients together

Get your kids to break the white chocolate up and put it in a heatproof bowl.

Add the condensed milk (just tip in the whole can).

Finally, weigh out the Biscoff spread and add it to your bowl.

Smooth the fudge down with a spatula or the back of a spoon, making sure the fudge is pressed down into each corner.

Add the Biscoff biscuit topping

Get your kids to crush the biscuits into small chunks. They can either do this by hand or bash them in a bowl with the end of something solid like a rolling pin.

Don’t crush everything to a crumb, as it’s nice to have some bigger chunks as well.

Sprinkle the biscuit chunks onto the top of the fudge. Push the bigger chunks slightly down into the fudge otherwise they might not stick to the top when you cut it.

Leave the Biscoff fudge to set

Cover your fudge with cling film / glad wrap and leave it to set. Once it has cooled down, pop it in the fridge for a few hours to set completely.

Once it has firmed up, cut it into small pieces with a sharp knife (this is a job for the grown ups).

FAQs

What is the trick to making fudge? ›

You have to control two temperatures to make successful fudge: the cooking temperature AND the temperature at which the mixture cools before stirring to make it crystallize. Confectionery experiments have shown that the ideal cooking temperature for fudge is around 114 to 115 °C (237 to 239 °F).

Why is my 3 ingredient fudge not setting? ›

The main reason is that your Fudge has not reached the optimum temperature. If your mixture only reaches 110 or 112 degrees Celsius it will always be soft. That's why we recommend investing in a sugar thermometer. Another reason your Fudge is not setting is that the ratio of liquid to sugar is too high.

What happens if you boil fudge too long? ›

If there is too much evaporation, when the cooking time is too long, there will not be enough water left in the fudge and it will be too hard.

What gives fudge its firm texture? ›

Tiny microcrystals in fudge are what give it its firm texture. The crystals are small enough, however, that they don't feel grainy on your tongue, but smooth. While you ultimately want crystals to form, it's important that they don't form too early.

What is the secret to smooth fudge that is not gritty? ›

Can you fix fudge that didn't set? ›

OPTION 3) Sieve together some powdered sugar and cocoa powder, and gradually work this into your unset fudge until it reaches the consistency of dough, then roll out and cut into squares, or shape into balls and then roll in powdered sugar (roll the balls in icing sugar, not yourself).

How to make fudge thicker? ›

How can you fix soft fudge? Put it in a microwave safe bowl that is large enough that it won't boil over. Reheat it to the boiling point and cook for about 3 more minutes. Then you can beat some powdered sugar into it if this doesn't make it set.

Do you stir fudge while boiling? ›

Avoid Stirring Once the Mixture Comes to a Simmer

Another key part of a successful fudge texture is when you stir the mixture. Stirring the sugar and milk during the initial stages of cooking allows the sugar to dissolve. However, once the mixture comes to a boil, it's time to put the spoon down.

Why did my fudge turn out like taffy? ›

If the fudge is very soft and slightly chewy then it is possible that it did not quite cook to soft ball stage and next time the mixture should be cooked to a slightly higher temperature (soft ball is 112-116c/235-240F and a sugar or candy thermometer can help).

What is the softball test when making fudge? ›

making of fudge

termed in kitchen parlance the soft ball stage, that point between 234 and 240 °F (112 and 115 °C) at which a small ball of the candy dropped in ice water neither disintegrates nor flattens when picked up with the fingers.

When to stop beating fudge? ›

Once the mixture has cooled enough, use a wooden spoon or an electric hand mixer to beat the fudge until you see the very first signs of the mixture shifting from glossy to matte. Believe yourself when you think you see them! If you over-mix the fudge it will set in your pot.

What happens if you stir fudge too early? ›

That smooth, creamy melt-in-your-mouth fudge texture is achieved with small sugar crystals. If the mixture is stirred too soon — when it is warmer than 110 degrees — the crystals will be large and make the fudge grainy.

Why is my fudge crumbling when I cut it? ›

The ingredients for fudge are combined and cooked to 234 degrees, cooled to 110 degrees without stirring, then beaten until creamy. Candy that isn't cooked long enough will end up too soft; overcooking makes fudge crumbly or hard.

Can you beat fudge in a stand mixer? ›

Pour the mixture over the chocolate, being sure to shake, not scrape, the mixture from the pot. Set aside to cool for 10 to 12 minutes. (This prevents a grainy consistency.) Using the clean wooden spoon or a standing mixer on low speed, stir or beat the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated.

What would cause fudge not to harden? ›

Homemade Fudge Doesn't Always Set

If your fudge doesn't firm up after a few hours, you either have too high an amount of liquid to sugar, or your mixture hasn't reached the soft-ball stage. Using a candy thermometer can help home cooks avoid this problem.
