| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, salt, and white corn syrup. Stir well until all ingredients are fully mixed. |
| 2 | Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. It’s crucial to stir constantly to prevent the mixture from burning. Boil until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage. This usually takes about 1 minute. |
| 3 | Once the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, remove the saucepan from the heat and place it in a larger pan filled with cold water. This helps to cool down the mixture rapidly. Add vanilla extract and pecan pieces to the mixture. |
| 4 | Using a wooden spoon or a hand mixer, beat the mixture vigorously until it thickens and the gloss starts to disappear. Be careful not to overbeat. The goal is to achieve a smooth consistency. |
| 5 | Once the mixture is thick enough to spread, but still soft, pour it into a greased 8×8 inch pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread the fudge in the pan. |
| 6 | Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cut it into squares and serve. Enjoy the creamy goodness of Mexican Cream Fudge! |
This Mexican Cream Fudge is a delightful departure from traditional chocolate fudge and is sure to become a new holiday favorite. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, it’s the perfect treat to enjoy with family and friends. So roll up your sleeves, gather your ingredients, and get ready to indulge in this decadent delight! 🎉🍬
