Christmas Fudge with Coconut, Vanilla & Rose by Shelina Permalloo

In a medium sized non stick pan over a low heat add the sugar, coconut, milk powder and milk and cook for 8 - 10 minutes stirring constantly. As soon as the mixture starts to stick to the bottom of the pan and forms one homogenous lump remove from heat. Add in the vanilla and rose water and stir through. 

Quickly turn out the mixture into a pre-lined dish and spread out until you get to approx 2cm in height. Flatten out the top of the mixture using the back of a spoon then quickly drop over the pistachios and rose and pat them into the top of the fudge then sprinkle over the chocolate this will melt so you don't need to touch the top after you have added the chocolate.

Place in the fridge and allow to set for up to 2 hours. 

Cut the fudge into 2cm pieces so they are the same height and width.

Place into sweet boxes or clear bags and choose some festive decorations to design your gifts
