Ingredients

Scale

Soil

  • 250 grams speculoos cookies
  • 100 grams butter
  • 50 grams speculoos spread

Caramel

  • 395 grams condensed milk
  • 50 grams butter

Chocolate Topping

  • 180 grams milk chocolate
  • 100 grams speculoos spread
  • 8 speculoos cookies (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon sunflower oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Soil: Crush 250 grams of speculoos cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Melt 100 grams of butter and combine it with the cookie crumbs and 50 grams of speculoos spread until evenly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a lined baking pan to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the caramel layer.
  2. Make the Caramel: In a saucepan over low heat, combine 395 grams of condensed milk with 50 grams of butter. Stir constantly to avoid burning and cook until the mixture thickens to a fudge-like consistency, usually around 10-15 minutes. Pour this warm caramel evenly over the chilled cookie base and return the pan to the refrigerator to set for at least 1 hour.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Topping: Melt 180 grams of milk chocolate and stir in 100 grams of speculoos spread along with 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil to ensure a smooth and glossy finish. Pour this mixture over the set caramel layer, spreading it evenly. Garnish the top with 8 whole speculoos cookies for a decorative finish.
  4. Chill and Serve: Return the assembled fudge to the refrigerator and allow it to chill until the chocolate is set, ideally for 2-3 hours or overnight. Once set, cut into 8 large pieces (or 16 smaller portions) and serve chilled for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use full-fat condensed milk for a richer caramel layer.
  • Ensure caramel is cooked on low heat and stirred continuously to prevent scorching.
  • Sunflower oil helps smooth the chocolate topping and provides a shiny finish.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a firmer texture, freeze fudge slices briefly before serving.
