Black & white fudge

Wouldn’t it be nice if everything in life was as black and white as a recipe? Unlike most things, Pâtisserie is pretty much clear cut. If you don’t follow the recipe then it’s most likely to end up wrong different. But then again it’s usually from the mistakes you discover the most interesting things.
Thinking about it I’m glad life isn’t a 1940’s black & white movie (don’t get me wrong I adore Cary Grant & co.), life would be quite dull otherwise.
Black & white fudge
Lining paper
600g sugar
2 tbsp liquid glucose
580ml double cream
220g butter
100g dark chocolate, melted
2 tbsp cocoa powder
Small petit four cases, optional.
Line tray with baking paper. Bring sugar, glucose, cream, vanilla and butter to the boil. Stirring constantly. Cook the mixture to 117°c. Pour into the bowl of a machine whisk (don’t scrape the bottom of the pot). Leave to stand for 10 minutes. Then turn the machine on to the lowest speed. Mix until it’s thick and glossy. Pour half the mixture into the tray and then add the chocolate and cocoa powder to the leftover half in the bowl. Mix until well combined. Pour the black mixture on top of the white. Smooth top. Swirl a skewer through the mixture a few times to create a marbled effect. Leave to set overnight. Cut into small squares and put into petit four cases.

You’re right about B&W life : beautiful photographs, movies and so on. As for your little fudge, i’d like to try… Thank Sweet, your recipe speaks in grams and liters (or ml). 117°c is funny : automatic equivalent of °F, ain’t it ? usually it is 100°, 120° or 150°. Go on with special r-khooking, it’s a treat to read and imagine.
Thanks, for the comment. 117°c is the equivalent of 243°F. If you need to convert the weight or liquid measurements, I’ve added a useful link to a weight & measures converter. Hope that helps
Well, I agree with Furoshiki, your blog is terrific… I’m hungry now… And believe it or not, Furoshiki is my Mom and I’m her sweet and turbulent daughter!
