Recipe Ingredients
Note: The full quantities are shown in the recipe card below.
- White chocolate - use white chocolate melts from the baking aisle, as they're designed to melt smoothly. I've also tested this recipe with Lindt white chocolate, which worked well.
- Sweetened condensed milk - both Nestlé and Homebrand sweetened condensed milk are suitable for this recipe. Do not use evaporated milk; otherwise, the fudge will not set properly.
- Unsalted butter - use unsalted butter.
- Golden syrup -
- Glucose syrup -
- Brown sugar - I like to use brown sugar for a richer caramel flavour but white sugar also works well.
Step-by-Step Directions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
- Step 1: Add the sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, golden syrup and glucose syrup to the Thermomix bowl.
- Step 2: Cook for 7 minutes, 100°C on speed 3 with the simmering basket on top. The mixture will be a pale caramel colour. Then heat again for 12 minutes on Varoma speed 3. The mixture will change to a darker caramel colour.
- Step 3: Add the white chocolate and blend for 20 seconds on speed 4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula then blend again for 10 seconds on speed 4 until the chocolate is melted.
- Step 4: Quickly pour the hot mixture into the prepared tin and leave to cool on the bench for 20 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before slicing.
Fudge Tips
- The fudge thickens quickly once it's made, so work fast to pour it into the tin before it sets.
- You may notice a few dark streaks at the bottom of the Thermomix bowl - this is just the sugar caramelising slightly as it cooks and won't affect the flavour.
- Ensure the baking tin is fully lined with overhangs at each end to help lift the fudge out easily.
Storage
Fridge: Keep your fudge in an airtight container in the fridge - it will stay fresh for up to 10 days.
Freezer: For longer storage, wrap each piece of fudge in plastic wrap or foil, then place it in a sealed container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Common Questions
It's best to avoid doubling this recipe. The quantity becomes too much for the Thermomix to handle safely, particularly when cooking at high temperatures like Varoma. There's a risk the mixture could overflow or fail to cook evenly. To keep things smooth and stress-free, make it in two separate batches.
No - evaporated milk won't work in this recipe. Sweetened condensed milk is essential for both sweetness and the thick, creamy texture of the fudge.

- 200 g white chocolate melts (or a 200 g block of white chocolate, broken into pieces) see notes

- Wash the Thermomix bowl as soon as possible to make it easier to remove the mixture.
