White Chocolate Bakewell (Cherry And Almond) Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients

15 ounces white chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/4 teaspoons almond extract
3/4 cup glace cherries, cut into eighths
glace cherries, to top (optional)
plastic wrap (cling film)

Preparation

Put the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan and warm over a very low heat, stirring continuously until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the almond extract and then the glace cherries.
Line a loaf pan with cling film (saran wrap) and pour the warm fudge mixture inches.
Chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours, until completely set (ideally overnight).
Then turn out of the pan and serve (this is a soft fudge so is best served slightly chilled).
NB If desired, you can quarter extra glace cherries and scatter them over the top of the fudge before chilling to make it look a little more colourful!
