How can I get my Fudge to set?

Question

I made it last night & even put it in the freezer, but it's still mushy. Is there anything I can do besides start over?

Answer 1

A southern thing.........It works..............Drop a little of your (cooking) fudge into a glass of cool tap water. When it forms a ball that goes all the way to the bottom of the glass without coming apart, it is ready to set.

Answer 2

I'll take a guess, you made your fudge in a hurry, how hot was it when you had it on the stove? 240?:
Chocolate Fudge

Ingredients:

2 cups sugar
1 cup whipping cream
2 ounces butter
3 tbsp. water
1/2 cup milk
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate

Preparation:

Put the sugar, cream, butter, water and milk into a heavy pan and place over a low heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Break the chocolate into small pieces and put into the sugar mixture, still on the low heat and stir until it dissolves. Once dissolved, turn up the heat and bring the mixture to the boil. It should now boil, with an occasional stir, until it reaches 240°F (114 deg C), the soft ball stage. (When a teaspoonful is dropped into a saucer of cold water, it forms a soft ball)

Remove from the heat and beat the mixture with a wooden spoon (best done by an adult) until it thickens. Pour the mixture into an 8 inch square cake pan greased with butter. Leave to set.

Cut into small squares.
