Boiling Mixture for Fudge
Hi I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to make this rich espresso fudge. With the butter melted it is time to bring our mixture to a boil. So we are going to turn that heat way up and something important to remember besides stirring all the time is you want to kind of wipe the sides down with a wet pastry brush. This is going to ensure that they are not sticking and you are not going to have a sticky gooey mess on the edge of the pot. It is going to kind of wash that down a little bit so that you are not getting your kind of a caramel cooking on the outside. Because we have already added water to the espresso we are not going to cause any problems with the texture, consistency of our mixture by adding a little bit more water. You don't want to be splashing it in there but you want to make sure that the sides stay relatively clean. You can see that it is rapidly heating up, we are getting little bubbles and we want to bring this to a nice full boil. Then we are going to clip our thermometer on so we do that right now. When I clip that thermometer on and you want to make sure that the tip of it is in our mixture but at the same time you don't want it to be touching the bottom of the pot. That would greatly effect the temperature reading that we are getting.
