Son Tinh and raisin fudge recipe
A party favour? An after-dinner dessert? Or just an indulgent (and we really mean indulgent) treat for a Friday night binge? Whatever the occasion, this boozy, creamy sweet is bound to make a few new friends, along with some jealous rivals. We’ve opted for Son Tinh Minh Mang for this recipe. Bringing with it a complex blend of caramel, dried fruit and a mild nod towards bitterness, it makes the ideal Vietnamese substitute for your basic rum and raisin, allowing for more complex flavours to this traditional British recipe.
Ingredients:
- 550g chopped white chocolate
- 380g condensed milk
- 50g butter
- 150g raisins
- 4 tbsp. Son Tinh Minh Mang
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Preparation:
Step 1:Pour Son Tinh Minh Mang over raisins and let sit. Step 2: In a heat-proof bowl, add white chocolate, condensed milk, cinnamon, butter and vanilla extract. Step 3: Set the bowl over a pot of boiling water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Step 4: Stir the mixture until all the chocolate has melted and everything is incorporated. Step 5: Take the combined mixture off the heat and stir in 2/3 of the raisins, saving some to garnish the top. Step 6: Pour mixture in to a 6 inch square pan. Evenly sprinkle the remaining raisins on the top. Step 7: Place in the fridge to set until firm. Approximately 2-3 hours. Remember: full plates don’t wait – have your fudge and eat it too!
