Kim-Joy’s Halloween dessert is as delicious as it is wacky.
“It’s extremely creamy and melts in your mouth with a burst of sweetness,” he said The Great British Baking Show alum says of the no-bake dessert.
“You can get really creative with Halloween toppings: use whatever cookies, candy or sprinkles you have lying around,” Kim-Joy adds of the recipe found in her new cookbook, Bake joy. “Each sandwich-style cookie with a filling that contrasts with the cookie gives you the impression of a mouth when broken in half.”
After the cream has cooled, use a pizza cutter to make clean slices. Run the blade under hot water until hot (or lightly spray with cooking spray), wipe dry, and run through the mixture.
“If there’s any left over—though unlikely!—it can be easily packed as a gift to take away,” she says.
How to recreate Kim-Joy’s Brownie & Pretzel Spiders
Kim-Joy’s ‘Monster’ Cookie Fudge
3 cups of granulated sugar
1¾ cups sweetened condensed milk
⅔ cup of whole milk
½ cup (4 oz.) salted butter, diced
1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or extract
Food colors of your choice
Cookies of your choice, broken into large pieces
Edible eye candy
1. Line 2 (8×4-inch) loaf pans with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches over the long sides of the pan.
2. Combine sugar, condensed milk, whole milk, butter and vanilla in a large heavy saucepan over high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until it boils, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is light golden brown and a candy thermometer registers 235° (soft-ball stage), 15 to 20 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to prevent excessive browning. Remove from heat.
3. Working quickly, divide the sugar mixture into 2 large heatproof bowls. Color each container with food coloring of your choice. Working one bowl at a time, beat with an electric mixer on high speed until opaque and slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. (The mixture will no longer be pourable.)
4. Transfer the fudge to separate prepared loaf pans and use a lightly greased rubber spatula to spread evenly around the edges. (Surface will not completely level.) Press cookie pieces and edible eyes on top as desired. Cover each pan lightly with plastic wrap. Chill until set and firm, about 2 hours.
5. Use the parchment paper ridges to lift the fudge from the loaf pan onto a cutting board; discard the parchment. Trim any ragged edges with a sharp knife and cut into 2-inch squares.
