Penuche

This formula sometimes makes a really surprisingly delicious white fudge that can be crumbly if you over mix the fudge when agitating. 


Formula: pg.
Yield: 60 pieces, this is a half batch and is a good amount for individual use

23%              Sugar                                                              235 g
23%              Glucose syrup                                                  235 g
15%              Invert sugar                                                     155 g
8%                Heavy cream                                                    80 g
5%                Milk                                                                 50 g
10%              Chocolate liquor, melt                                      95 g
<1%              Salt                                                                 1/2 t
<1%              Vanilla extract                                                 5 g
10%              Fondant                                                           95 g
6%                Vanilla extract                                                 60


MOP:

Combine sugar, light brown sugar, glucose syrup, invert sugar, heavy cream, and milk in a saucepan. Cook to 118°C/245°F, stirring constantly. Stir in the salt. Pour hot mixture onto a marble slab, place the chocolate liquor, fondant, and vanilla extract on top of the syrup. Allow heat from syrup to melt the ingredients slightly, cool to 50°C/120°F.

When the mixture has cooled, use a spackle tool or scraper to agitate the mixture until it turns creams and opaque. Similar to the Penuche technique, agitate for about 8 minutes. 

Deposit opaque mixture on a sprayed parchment lined half sheet pan, evenly. Let set up until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 1" squares, wrap to prevent drying if you are not dipping immediately. This confection works really well un-dipped but you need to wrap it to keep the Penuche moist.
