Ginger crunch fudge truffles
- 4 oz butter
- 1 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tbsp golden syrup
- 1/4 tin of condensed milk
- 1 handful of crystalised ginger, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup dessicated coconut
- 1 packages ginger nut biscuits, crushed
- Place a heavy based, decent sized saucepan on the stove.
- Cut butter into cubes and melt in pot on a low heat.
- Once the butter is melted add the sugar and turn the heat to medium.
- Stir the sugar and the butter for 5 minutes so the sugar absorbs dome heat and the crystals start to dissolve.
- Then, add all other ingredients to the saucepan.
- You need to bring the mixture up to the boil, stirring often so the sugar does not burn on the bottom of the pot.
- Once the mixture is bubbling and nearly doubles in size in the pan, turn the mixture down to medium again.
- The sugar should hold the heat so it continues to boil gently.
- If not feel free to turn the element up and down to keep the mixture boiling.
- IMPORTANT: it needs to boil gently for 30 minutes.
- Stir occasionally to ensure no burn.
- After the 30 minutes are up, the mixture should have turned light brown.
- Take off the heat a beat with an electric beater until stiff and glossy.
- Mix in the crushed ginger nut biscuits and the ginger, pour into a flat, square dish that has been lightly greased with butter and put in the fridge to set.
- Leave for at least 2-3 hours until properly cooled.
- Pour the coconut on to a large plate and have another plate on standby for the finished product to sit on.
- Take a large spoonful of the cold fudge mixture and roll it into a ball between your hands.
- Then roll the ball in the coconut and set aside on the other plate.
- Keep rolling until all the mixture is used.
- Leave the balls in the fridge until ready to eat.
- Enjoy!
