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.

    Tastes wonderful, but is not setting. Has been left for about 4 hours I think maybe a little longer in the fridge. Did I not leave it boiling for long enough? Got a little ball when outting it into cold water....... Thanx Jules

    This is amazing stuff! Everyone that has tried it said it was fab! Really creamy. Took a while to get it to the right temperature but set almost straight after I put it in the tin. Will definitely be making this again.

    this is also the first time i have made fudge. at first i thought it was going horribly wrong, put all in pan and thought this is taking an age. so read the comments and have to say if i hadnt i may have given up on it. i got my sugar thermometer out and waited till soft ball stage, about 45 mins. It formed a skin on contact with the tin i was cooling it in. The worst part is waiting for it to go firm, (overnight). but well worth waiting for. Probably the smoothest creamiest fudge tasted and you would think i had been making it for years. Top marks for this recipe, it will become a regular when we have guests and as a gift.

    Mine didn't set. I don't know what I did wrong! I tried to fix it when it became clear it wasn't going to set (overnight!) with the adding icing sugar and reheating method but that didn't save it either That said, I didn't really enjoy the taste of it, way too creamy.

    made this fudge today, very simple recipe to follow with great results. I used a casserole dish just to make sure I had enough height for the bubbles and it was ideal. The whole recipe took 30 mins from strat to finish, only downside is mine isn't as smooth as the pic, but still tastes great :D

    This was very easy to make and tasted fab, made a great wedding gift. Deffinately just score the fudge rather than cutting through befroe wrapping it up in celephane as it's very crumbly once cooled.

    I made this for a friends birthday and it worked out great. A lovely sweet soft fudge. Mine turned out the same colour as the photo but I don't think I cooked it quite as long as everyone else has said. I was scared of burning it. It took much longer to fully set though (overnight). Of course I had to keep testing it too make sure it was ok. Next time I think I would increase the baileys and decrease the white chocolate to balance the flavours a bit more. I melted the white chocolate in but I might try using white choc chips and not letting them melt in. This recipe would be easy to adapt to make different flavours. Might try coffee.

    Worked really well, used double cream. Didn't have to boil for as long as mentioned in some of the other comments as it thickened rather quickly. Began to set as soon as I put it in the tin! Lovely and creamy and VERY sweet! I sprinkled mine with finely chopped white chocolate to finish it off
