Christmas Pudding Fudge

Well, I didn't quite get this one posted here in time for Christmas, but at least it will be ready for next year…

This was just a batch of Vanilla Fudge, with crumbled Christmas Pudding mixed through. I really wanted to make several batches with different flavours (ginger, cinnamon & orange, amaretto, etc…), but didn't have any more coconut cream.

225g Caster Sugar
45g Dairy Free Spread
160ml Can Coconut Cream 
1/2 tsp Vanilla Paste
100g Crumble Christmas Pudding (I used Coles gluten free one, which is milk, egg, soya, and nut free too) 

Put sugar, spread and coconut cream into a heavy based pan. Heat gently, stirring frequently until the sugar has completely dissolved (do not allow to boil until sugar dissolved).
Bring to the boil without stirring. 
Continue to boil, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 116ºc on a sugar thermometer (or until it forms a soft ball when a small drop is added to a glass of cold water).
Remove the pan from the heat.
Add the vanilla extract and beat with a wooden spoon until thick.
Stir in the Christmas pudding (or other flavouring).
Pour into a greased foil lined tray.
Smooth out to an even thickness (mine didn't quite fill the tin, but just straighten the edge when its the thickness you want).
Use a sharp knife to cut into square and leave to cool completely.
