Salted matcha fudge

Method

• step 1

  Lightly butter a 16cm x 26cm baking tray and line with baking paper. Tip the sugar, golden syrup and cream into a medium pan over a low-medium heat and cook for 2-3 mins, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat to medium and insert a sugar thermometer – this is essential, as the mixture needs to reach the correct temperature. Continue to cook for 8 mins, stirring often so the mixture doesn’t catch, until it reaches 116C. Remove from the heat and beat in the chocolate and butter until melted and combined. Beat in the matcha.

• step 2

  Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared tin. Smooth the surface using a silicone spatula and sprinkle over some sea salt. Cool completely, then transfer to the fridge and chill for 2-3 hrs, or until set. Use the baking paper to lift the fudge out of the tin, then cut into 60 squares.
