The Recipe Details
My cardamom and cinnamon caramel fudge is rich, smooth, and warmly spiced – perfect for festive gifting or holiday trays. Made with condensed milk, brown sugar, and butter, it comes together quickly and sets beautifully every time.
Cinnamon is iconic in winter recipes ( eggless eggnog is a classic in our home), while cardamom adds a delicate floral warmth often found in Indian sweets . Together, they create a cosy, festive flavour that pairs beautifully with caramelised condensed milk.
Even if fudge isn’t usually your thing, this method is simple, reliable, and customisable.
Homemade edible gifts always feel more thoughtful, and fudge is one of the easiest confections to prepare. It holds well at room temperature, packs perfectly into boxes, and can be personalised with your favourite spices or extracts. If you’re planning festive bakes this season, start with this small-batch spiced caramel fudge.
