Equipment

  • 8x8-inch square baking pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan
  • candy thermometer
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Hand Mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups goat milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional, such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter to prepare for the fudge.
  • In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the goat milk, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and salt. Stir gently to combine before heating.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts completely. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  • Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently to prevent burning or sticking. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. The mixture should reach about 235°F (soft ball stage). If you don’t have a thermometer, test by dropping a small amount of the mixture into cold water; it should form a soft, pliable ball.
  • Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool undisturbed for about 10 minutes. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Using a wooden spoon or a hand mixer on low speed, beat the fudge mixture vigorously until it thickens and loses its glossy sheen. This step is crucial for achieving that creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  • If you’re using nuts, fold them gently into the fudge. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  • Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Once set, cut into small squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer for best results to avoid grainy fudge.
  • Beating the fudge properly is key to achieving a smooth texture.
  • Let the fudge cool slightly before pouring to prevent cracking and spreading.
  • Experiment with different nuts or add cocoa powder for variations.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerated for up to two weeks.
