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 long does Biscoff fudge last?

If you store your Biscoff fudge in an airtight container it will keep for a week or two. This makes it perfect for homemade gifts for friends and family.

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

How do you fix oily fudge? ›

To fix oily, hard or grainy fudge, scoop the fudge back into a pot with about a cup of water. Cook it over low heat until the fudge dissolves. Then bring the fudge back up to the temperature specified in the recipe and follow the remaining steps. The flavor may be slightly diluted, but the texture will be improved.

Can you freeze fudge? ›

Yes. Fudge can be frozen and most fudge recipes will freeze and thaw well. The texture of the fudge matters here; fudge with a denser texture tends to freeze better than fudge with a lighter texture. Freezing fudge can be a good option for long term storage as opposed to refrigeration.

Can you use margarine instead of butter for fudge? ›

When making fudge, be sure to use good quality butter and do not substitute margarine. Margarine contains more water and can prevent the fudge from setting up properly. Also, be sure to use the quantity called for in the recipe, too much may prevent it from firming up properly.

What is the secret to non grainy fudge? ›

Once a seed crystal forms, it grows bigger and bigger as the fudge cools. A lot of big crystals in fudge makes it grainy. By letting the fudge cool without stirring, you avoid creating seed crystals. Stirring would help sucrose molecules "find" one another and start forming crystals.

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.

Why should you not refrigerate fudge? ›

Fudge is best stored at room temperature for 2 to 3 weeks wrapped up in its original wax paper. NEVER REFRIGERATE your fudge as this will draw out the moisture and leave you with dry, crumbly fudge.

Does homemade fudge go bad? ›

Fudge's shelf life varies depending on several factors, including the ingredients used, storage conditions, and whether it is homemade or commercially produced. Generally, homemade fudge can last up to 2 weeks when stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

How long does homemade fudge stay fresh? ›

Fudge does not need to be stored in a sterilised jar but one with an airtight seal is a good idea. Otherwise try to use a container with a tight-fitting lid. In a cool place the fudge will keep for about 2 weeks but you can also keep the fudge in the fridge which will extend the life for 3 to 4 weeks.

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.

Should I use salted or unsalted butter in fudge? ›

Use unsalted butter so you can add a small amount of salt (¼ teaspoon per stick of butter) to the sugar/liquid mixture. Salt tends to stabilize the mixture and keep it from foaming as much.

What happens if you use salted butter instead of unsalted? ›

If you're baking and swapping in salted butter, the excess water from salted butter may make more of an impact. This is because extra water can have an effect on how gluten reacts and forms within dough. Consider slightly lessening any additional water the recipe may call for.

Why did my fudge come out oily? ›

The Science Of Oily Fudge

If your fudge is heated too much during the mixing process, or if the ingredients are insufficiently mixed together, the butter fat will separate itself from the liquids in the mix and rise to the top of the fudge, forming greasy pools.

Can you fix fudge that didn't set? ›

It sounds like your fudge simply wasn't heated enough. ... If it's overcooked (resulting in grainy fudge) or undercooked (resulting in poor setting) all you really need to do is add a bit of cream, reheat the fudge to the target temperature, and let it set again.

Why is my fudge still shiny? ›

You want to control the crystal growth so the crystals remain very small, invisible to the eye and the tongue. Small sugar crystals give you a smooth melt in the mouth texture. The secret to smooth fudge is to let the sugar syrup cool undisturbed until it reaches about 110°F and then beat it until no longer shiny.

Can you reboil fudge that hasn't set? ›

Don't panic if your fudge is grainy, nothing is lost it just requires some more work. Pop the grainy fudge back into the pan along with some water and a little cream and melt the fudge back down to a liquid and re-boil it to temperature.
