Vanilla Fudge (Sucre à la crème)

This is a modern version of a traditional Québecoise (French-Canadian) dessert. A colleague loves it, saying it tastes just like the recipe his petite-grandmère (little grandmother) used to make. My secret? I got the recipe from a petite-grandmère!

It's super easy to make. It's very soft and pretty much solid sugar so the serving size should be small. Perfect to bring into work!

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, cut in chunks
3 cups brown sugar
1 small can Carnation evaporated milk
4 cups icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

• Grease bottom and sides of a square cake pan with butter.
• Combine and stir butter, brown sugar, and evaporated milk in a microwave safe casserole.
• Microwave on high for seven minutes, pausing halfway to stir.
• Remove from microwave. Be careful- it’s very hot!
• Gradually whisk in icing sugar, one cup at a time until fully combined. Add vanilla and whisk a bit more.
• Pour into prepared cake pan. Let cool, and cut into squares.



bon appetit
