Baileys & white chocolate fudge

Baileys & white chocolate fudge

This deliciously creamy fudge makes a lovely gift, just wrap it in cellophane, then finish with a stylish ribbon

Difficulty and servings

Moderately easy

Makes approx 30 pieces

Preparation and cooking times

Total time

Ready in 45 mins plus cooling

Method

  1. Butter and line a 22cm x 22cm tin, leaving a small overhang. Put sugar, cream and Baileys in a large pan and, stirring slowly, bring it to a simmer. Make sure the sugar is dissolved (it will stop feeling grainy on the base of the pan), then turn the heat up to a rolling boil.
  2. Adjust the heat until the mixture bubbles without getting too near the top of the pan. Keep bubbling, stirring occasionally, until a small amount of mixture dropped into a glass of cold water will form a soft ball that you can pick up on the end of a teaspoon.
  3. At this stage, the bubbles will have gone from being large and unruly to smaller and more even. Stir in the chocolate and pour the mixture into the tin. Cool and cut.

    It didnt take too long to set, 3-4hrs I think by the time I checked it. It didnt say though how long to boil it for, how long did your's take to boil? Seemed like forever. Also my fudge turned out a lot darker that the picture on here... did anyone else notice that or did I do something wrong?

    This is a great fudge! But yes it took an age to get up to temperature. I have made it twice now, the second time I used a sugar thermometer, which took the guess work out. It also was darker so the second time I used white sugar. It worth the 3/4hour stirring and watching the pot. Great gift item

    This was my first go at ever making fudge and it was delicious! Got the thumbs up from all that tried it, so I will definitely be making more as christmas pressies. I boiled for about 30 minutes I think, and just broke the chocolate into pieces.

    How long does it keep? My daughter would love it but I'm not sure when to make it so it's still perfect for Christmas.

    this tastes better than most of the fudge i've paid a fortune for! First time I've attempted to make fudge and it was way easier than i expected. I'll be making this again to give as gifts for xmas!

    Absolutely gorgeous!!! Am making this for Christmas presents so did a dry run last night. Turned out lovely, bought into work today and had lots of compliments. I had a few cubes of white chocolate left from a 200g bar so grated the reminder over the top. I bolied for about 30mins I think, after I had bought up to the simmer gently stirring and making sore that the sugar had disolved completely. Fudge is just the right texture. Yum!

    Haven't tried this yet, although I do plan to. Just thought I'd respond to Yvie's question about temperature though - step 2 of the recipe refers to the mixture forming a soft ball when dropped into a glass of cold water, therefore it should be boiled to the soft ball stage on your thermometer, which is 118 celsius or 240 fahrenheit.

    Just made this, & it is much darker than the picture, & also not as smooth,but it has set almost right away.Concerned that it may have burnt a bit,but it tastes ok! I will give it another try next week, boiling it more slowly & for longer & see what happens. Mine only took 15 mins to reach set,with a suger thermometer.

    I've made fudge quite a bit before using a recipe my mum has. I used a thermometer to know when I'd reached softball stage (118 degrees C). Broke the chocolate into chunks and stirred in. Mine set as soons as it started to cool, so was fully set with a few hours. I can't taste the baileys or the white chocolate much - more of a hint. But good creamy texture and tastes good.

    Reasonably easy to make, though use a large saucepan to prevent it boiling over! Lovely creamy texture. Would you store this in the fridge??
