Fresh Strawberry and Vanilla Flan Recipe
Recipe Ingredients:
Flan base
Small punnet of strawberries
2 large slices of Vanilla fudge
Method:
Quarter strawberries. Melt fudge as in fudgey fun below. Pour a small amount into base and spread. Add strawberries then pour the remaining fudge over the top. Serve as soon as firm, while still warm. Serves 4.
Fudgey Fun Recipe
Melt down fudge and spread over almost anything! Especially nice on fairy cakes, muffins, teacakes or even on a slice of bread. Use rum and raisin flavour to spice up hot cross buns, jazz up plain biscuits or cement them together. Pour over your favourite desert or ice cream, or make fudgey popcorn.
Method:
Melt fudge on a medium/low heat (defrost) in microwave for approximately 1 minute per slice, stirring gently once. It should be liquid but not bubbling. Drop on in spoonfuls and spread immediately. Quickly add any decorations before going on to the next one. If fudge sets just give it a few more seconds in the microwave and continue.
Fudge Malt Drink Recipe
This makes a fantastic pick me up or breakfast meal - its traditional ice cream parlour food in the States:
Recipe Ingredients:
6 small chunks of Vanilla fudge (about 1oz)
2 teaspoons of Horlicks
2 scoops Vanilla full cream ice cream
half a pint of milk
Method:
Put all the ingredients into a blender and whizz for thirty seconds. Pour out the thick shake into a chilled long glass, add a thick straw to suck it up. Makes 2/3 pint, so you could share it with a friend, or keep topping up your glass and scoff it all yourself!
Coffee addict? Try adding a jigger of strong expresso for a Coffee Malt - mmmm!!
Fudge Crunchies Recipe
Adding Jims fudge gives these old favourites a real touch of class.
Recipe Ingredients:
1 oz of butter
1 tablespoon of Golden Syrup
3 cups of cornflakes (or rice Krispies)
1 slice of fudge chopped up.
Method:
Melt the butter and syrup together, cool slightly, add the fudge followed by the cornflakes, just as the fudge is starting to melt.
Again you can use a variety of favourite flavours here, but we find some of the more traditional can work best. Try it with Traditional Toffee, Vintage Vanilla, or Chocolate Classic.
The Most Delectable Ice-Cream Topping in the World Recipe
For a super dooper ice-cream dessert try adding a fudge topping to a good quality vanilla ice cream.
Method:
Melt a slice of fudge either in the microwave (about 30 seconds) or in a bowl placed over a pan of boiling water. Do not add any water to it, although for that even creamier taste you could add a dribble of fresh cream. For an adult treat you can also add a variety of alcohol once the fudge has melted. About one cap full to each slice.
Once it is melted you should allow to cool for 3-5 minutes and then pour over your ice-cream. There are many combinations you can try, but here are just a few of our favourites. (Vanilla tends to be the best flavour ice-cream to use so that the flavour of the fudge carries the dessert).
- Rich Chocolate Orange Fudge and cointreau
- Rum and Raisin fudge with a nick of rum
- Likewise with our Whiskey Cream Supreme and a tot of whiskey or Baileys Irish Cream
- Rocky Road - just straight until the marshmallows are just melting
- Cherry Almond with a spot of Ameretto
- Vintage Vanilla with a drop of Peach Schnapps or Malibu
