Sucre a la creme

Sucre a la creme

Sucre à la crème means Creamy Sugar. Want some yet?  This is also a dessert that is extremely popular in my familly. Both of my grandmas and my mom used to make it all the time when I was a child. Karl’s grandma makes it too and it’s so delicious, you just can’t stop eating it! I know it’s almost pure sugar so it’s obviously not a everyday thing but if you planning on entertaining for Thanksgiving or even for Christmas, this is the kind of recipe you want to make! It’s easy, quick, you can make it ahead of time AND it freezes quite well.

Let me know if you like it!! :)

    That’s standard Fudge in Britain, Chocolate Fudge is something separate.

    It came out really goopy. =( I put it in the freezer. Hopefully it’ll harden some more.

    How long did you leave it on to cook? I always put it in the fridge to make it harden a bit. I like nine soft but if you want it a bit harder, leave it on to cook for a bit longer (10 minutes).

    Mine came out goopy too. I wonder if there are two sizes of can in the US as there are here in the UK? I used the 12oz (410 g) tin. I cooked it for about 7 minutes but it’s never going to set.
    Any tips please?

  • Iadorefood

    Hi Susan!!! I am so srry that I forgot to specify the can size!!! if you used a 12oz can,you should double everything else since the recipe calls for a 6oz can. I am extremely sorry about that! I just put the specifics in the recipe so no one else gets a goopy sucre a la creme! thanks :)

    Is this your mother or grandmother’s recipe?
