Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 cups | White sugar |
| 1/4 cup | Boiling water |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 1/4 cup | Non-dairy creamer |
| 2 cups | Orange zest (grated) |
| 1 cup | Nuts (chopped, optional) |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Pan:
- Start by greasing an 8 x 8 inch square pan to prevent the fudge from sticking.
-
Melt Sugar:
- In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, begin melting 1 cup of white sugar, ensuring to stir constantly to prevent burning.
-
Add Boiling Water:
- Carefully add the boiling water to the saucepan with the melted sugar.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Stir in the remaining 2 cups of white sugar, non-dairy creamer, and salt into the saucepan mixture.
-
Bring to Boil:
- Continuously stirring, bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Check Temperature:
- Without stirring, allow the mixture to reach a temperature between 242 to 248 degrees F (116 to 120 degrees C). You can test this by dropping a small amount of syrup into cold water – it should form a firm but pliable ball.
-
Cool Mixture:
- Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
-
Beat Until Glossy:
- Using a mixer or by hand, beat the mixture until it loses its glossiness.
-
Fold in Flavorings:
- Immediately fold in the grated orange peel and chopped nuts (if using) into the fudge mixture.
-
Transfer to Pan:
- Once thoroughly combined, transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared square pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Chill:
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
-
Cut and Serve:
- Once chilled, remove the fudge from the refrigerator and cut it into desired serving pieces. Enjoy the creamy, citrusy goodness of Dreamsicle Fudge!
