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.

    For all that wanted to know: You need to boil this mixture till it reaches "the soft ball stage" that is 116 Degrees Celcius or when you put a spoonful of hot liquid into very cold water you'll be able to form it into a ball in the water but when taken out it will flatten.

    Bearing in mind, its still in the fridge setting (and hopefully it does) I had to give it 5 stars...mainly because its the first fudge recipe i've been able to succeed in! Every other recipe i've tried turns into a disaster. I tried a bit when I was scraping the pan and it was soooo yummy! I used Hazelnut Baileys instead of normal and its soo good! It took me ages to make (well over an hour) because everytime I tried to boil it, it boiled over so I had a lot of taking the pan off the hob, then back on. Would defo recommend a huge pan for this! I will be buying one and will definately be making this fudge again. It will be great to make at Christmas time too for gifts x

    I LOVE this gorgeous fugde!! So nice and so easy to make that I couldn't stop nibbling at it! I did double the amount of baileys as it didn't leave much taste. Will definately be doing this again! Everyone commented on it!

    Absolutely delicious, made this for Christmas pressies last year and am already starting to get requests for more for this Christmas... I did try to make some with dark chocolate though... 2 attempts and each time I tried the chocolate split and the fudge ended up gritty... anyone got any ideas to stop that happening???

    I used white caster sugar with no problems. Gave it a good hard boil for about 30 minutes. Definitely need to pay attention to the drop balls in cold water test! It set within about 10 minutes of going in the tin. Awesome fudge, could taste the white choc, although i think the Baileys gets swamped in all the cream and sugar already in the recipe. 10/10

    Everyone who tried this says it is absolutely delicious! It came together perfectly the first time I tried it, but its all gone, so I now need to make more. The comments here have been really helpful, so thank you everyone. Top tips... - a silicon 'tin' works perfectly and doesn't need lining - it took me about 30 minutes to get to temperature. A sugar thermometer does really help, but as the recipe says, the change in the consistency and the bubbles are really obvious, so it shouldn't be too difficult if you don't have one. - I thought I'd ruined it as the mixture started to burn as it neared temperature, but just mix in the darker caramel bits. It added to the flavour. - I let it cool back down without stirring it before I mixed the broken pieces of chocolate in (it doesn't need to be melted chocolate). - I scored the fudge in the tin as it cooled so it was easy to cut and didn't crumble. Delicious!

    I tried making this the other night and had the same issue as some others wondering how long to boil for, and ancient cook book of my dads said it should only have taken 10-15 minutes so I think I turned the heat down too far. Also it needs a big bold comment of: DO NOT PUT IN FRIDGE TO SET. It will absorb the moisture in the fridge and not set. Lesson learnt the hard way as an overnight spell in the fridge left me wondering why and chef dad coming home and saying 'which idiot put that in here'. Oh well, better luck next time.

    If adding glace cherries or preservrd ginger to fudge, do I need to wash off syrup from cherries and ginger first?
