Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sugar
  • ½ cup plain yogurt unsweetened
  • 3 tbsp passionfruit pulp fresh is best, but tinned is fine
  • 2 tbsp desicated coconut
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Cooking spray for greasing

Instructions
 

  • Into a heavy-bottomed saucepan, put the sugar, butter and yogurt.
  • Over a low heat, stir gently until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Bring sugar mixture to the boil WITHOUT STIRRING until the mixture has reached the soft ball stage*.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fudge mixture or else it will caramelise.
  • Remove fudge mixture from the heat.
  • Leave the fudge mixture to sit in a saucepan for approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add in the passionfruit pulp and dessicated coconut.
  • Beat fudge mixture until it has reached a thick and creamy consistency.
  • Pour fudge into a greased 9 inch x13 inch (or 22 cm x 33 cm) pan.
  • While the fudge mixture is still warm but before it has hardened too much, use a knife to slice the fudge into 1” (or 2.5 cm) squares.
  • Allow the fudge to set in the pan before you turn it out and devour it!
  • * Soft ball stage is when the mixture forms a soft ball when a small amount of it is dropped into cold water. The mixture then loses its form when taken out of the water.
