I remember years ago, the Lotus Biscoff biscuits were something that I only ever saw at the hairdresser. A little treat to go along with the cup of tea that you barely had a chance to drink. They were reminiscent of the speculoos biscuits that we used to get at school so I always had a bit of a fondness for that lightly spiced flavouring but they weren’t something that you could easily find and buy in the shops.

Fast forward to the present and we now see a huge selection of Lotus Biscoff cookie butter/Biscoff spread, biscuits, ice cream, doughnuts and sauce in the supermarkets!

And I’m not complaining. Instead, I’m trying to find more ways to subtly incorporate more Biscoff into my life.

I always wondered how Biscoff fudge would taste, whether they would be grainy or overpowering. Some of those close to me don’t like the taste of Biscoff so I was keen to make a butter fudge with a taste of Biscoff coming through the more that you made you way through eating it.

The aim was to make an easy fudge recipe that tasted of Biscoff spread, something great for Biscoff lovers but that also didn’t offend those that weren’t big fans of the taste and I think I have succeeded!

It has been described as really smooth and soft but with a distinct Biscoff flavour which is exactly what I wanted! Next up, Biscoff cheesecake!

Biscoff Fudge Recipe | Quick Lotus Biscoff Fudge (1)

Overview

Makes: 40 pieces approximately
Cook time: 30 mins
Rest time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 400g Caster sugar (2 cups)
  • 150ml Whole milk
  • 1 tin Condensed milk (397g)
  • 50g Unsalted butter
  • 100g Biscoff spread

Optional

    • 100g Biscoff biscuits for crumb topping

Utensils

  • Scales
  • Large saucepan
  • Wooden spoon/Spatula
  • 8″ Square baking tin

Optional

    • Parchment paper
    • Baking/Sugar thermometer

Instructions

  1. Add your 400g caster sugar, full tin of condensed milk, 150ml whole milk, 50g unsalted butter to your saucepan and place on a low heat.
  2. Stir gently until all the ingredients have melted and you can no longer feel the sugar grains under your wooden spoon/spatula.
  3. Once your mix is smooth, you want to turn up the heat to a rolling boil.Allow this to bubble away with gentle stirring for approximately 15 minutes.

    The mix should begin to thicken under your spoon.

  4. Use a baking thermometer to check the readiness of your fudge, you are looking for this to reach approximately 115°C.For those of you (myself included) that do not have a baking thermometer to measure the temperature, we are instead going to check for the soft ball stage.

    So, grab a glass or bowl of cold water and after around 10-15 minutes of boiling, let some of the mixture drop into your water.

    If when you remove it from the water, you can form a soft ball with your fingers, you are done!

  5. Remove your pan from the heat and allow the mix to cool for around 5-15 minutes.It should begin to form a skin in that time.
  6. Then, you want to add your 100g Biscoff spread and put in some real arm work and mix, mix, mix with your spatula or wooden spoon until the mix really thickens and loses its glossy sheen.It will begin to look matte and resemble what you would consider fudge.
  7. At this stage, you want to add your mix to your square baking tin and smooth it out to cover all the edges.I like to use the back of the spoon as best I can to achieve a smooth surface on top.
  8. At this point, you can choose whether or not to add a biscuit crumb to your fudge.If you want a crumb, simply crush or blend 100g Lotus Biscoff biscuits before sprinkling on top of your fudge and gently pressing down.
  9. Now, you can either pop your fudge into the refrigerator to chill or leave it to set at room temperature.It should take around 2 hours but I tend to leave this overnight.
  10. Cut into round 1″ squares.Enjoy!

Storage

Store in an airtight container.

This fudge should keep for 1-2 weeks at room temperature.

If refrigerated, fudge can last 2-3 weeks.

FAQs

What is the secret to good 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? ›

If your fudge turned out super sticky, or it didn't set as it cooled, it probably never got hot enough. This mistake is super easy to avoid if you use a candy thermometer and cook the fudge to the temperature specified in the recipe (usually between 234 and 239°F).

How to make fudge creamy and not grainy? ›

By cooling the fudge prior to agitation (like in the recipes included in this article), on the other hand, you'll get much smaller, finer sugar crystals and a finished fudge with a smooth, creamy texture. Cool the mixture until it reads 120° F on the thermometer—no stirring. This can take 1 to 1/2 hours.

How to fix fudge that didn't set? ›

To fix it, you can reheat the fudge mixture over low heat and continue cooking until it reaches the proper temperature. Be sure to use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature accurately. Alternatively, you can try to salvage chewy fudge by mixing it into ice cream or using it as a topping for desserts.

What makes high quality fudge? ›

It's the size of sugar crystals that makes the knees of fudge lovers buckle…the smaller the crystals, the less they are perceived on the tongue and the more the fudge tastes smooth and creamy. Cooking, and beating after cooking, is the key to successful fudge.

Why won't my 2 ingredient fudge set? ›

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.

Why do you add vanilla to fudge? ›

Vanilla is often added to chocolate candies or other chocolate recipes because it complements and accents the flavor of chocolate.

Why did my fudge fail? ›

If your fudge is tough, hard, or grainy, then you may have made one of several mistakes: You may have overcooked it, beaten it too long, or neglected to cool it to the proper temperature.

Why does fudge fail? ›

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.

What to do with ruined fudge? ›

Good use of failed fudge: fudge that is too hard, too soft, too runny, too sugary, too chewy, etc. Proportions are as follows: for every 2 cups (roughly 1 pound yield) of any failed fudge that is not runny, you'll need 1 egg, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and ½ cup milk. If fudge is soupy, halve the milk (to ¼ cup).

Will powdered sugar thicken fudge? ›

How to thicken your fudge? If your fudge it noticeably thin, you may want to add more chocolate. If you are out of chocolate, you can also add 1/4-1/2 cup of powdered sugar. This, however, can make the fudge very sweet.

Why did my fudge turn out like caramel? ›

Why did my fudge not solidify? ›

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 soft ball stage of 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.

Should you stir fudge while boiling? ›

Don't stir!

Once the fudge reaches soft-ball stage on the candy thermometer, remove from the heat and let the temperature drop to 110°F. Keep that spoon or spatula out of the pot until this happens. If you stir too early in the process, you'll make the sugar crystals too big and end up with grainy fudge.

What does cream of tartar do in fudge? ›

Cream of tartar is used in caramel sauces and fudge to help prevent the sugar from crystallizing while cooking. It also prevents cooling sugars from forming brittle crystals, this is why it's the secret ingredient in snickerdoodles!

Can you mess up fudge? ›

If your fudge is tough, hard, or grainy, then you may have made one of several mistakes: You may have overcooked it, beaten it too long, or neglected to cool it to the proper temperature.

How do I get my fudge to harden? ›

Freezing your fudge is the key to a hardened result.
