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.

    Just finished making this and found it relatively easy. Thought I would have a trial run ready for gift for a friend. I used double cream instead of whipping cream as suggested by one of the comments I read and I added 100ml Bailey's instead of 50ml. I also used white sugar too. I found getting to the right temperture hard and ended up skightly burning the bottom of the pan. it's inthe fridge at the moment and looking forward to tasting it later tonight. can any body recommend a pan which would help n ot to burn or any tips? also I think I will melt the choc first before adding.

    wonderful fudge! made it with three of my kids - we left out the baileys but added rosewater, then sprinkled a little lavender on the top. Boiled for about 30 mins max, fudge set very quickly in fridge but was a bit crumbly in places. It's just been cut and is disappearing quickly......

    Tasted good - although super sweet - but it isn't smooth and creamy like fudge... it's harder and crumblier, more like tablet, although it may have got a bit hotter than intended, despite using a sugar thermometer (thanks to my young daughter for that haha!). I think I'll make again, but try with milk chocolate next time.

    I made this yesterday, I don't like fudge but my family found it a little too sweet and very crumbly.. My brother told me I should put a tiny bit less sugar in it.. he thinks that will stop it from crumbling so much and make it slightly less sweet, but would this actually work? Does anyone know? Also, anyone who hasn't made this yet, remember to use a LARGE pan! I used a largish pan and ended up having some of it go over the side! Also sugar thermometer very recomended!

    Agree with Bexi and Gemma above, Made this last night, and turned out super sweet but delicious. Unfortunately, did not get the chewy texture i was aiming for althoguh i used a sugar thermometer (highly recommended). Thing is, i kept on stirring and stirring and it only hit the desired temp once i cranked the fire on high! It was hard and crumbly, melts once it hits your mouth though. Will try it next time, maybe a bit less sugar, and remove it from heat a little earlier

    I've never made fudge before, but made this last night as a dry run for christmas presents. It was super easy, I left it in the fridge to chill over night and it was perfect by morning. My guinea pigs (work colleagues) all loved it! I would say that it is very very sweet and next time I intend to use a slightly bitter chocolate to tone it down a bit, but all in all delicious!

    This may sounds like a stupid question, but what am I meant to be lining the tin with? I made some "cheats" fudge last year and I think I used cling film. Is this just going to melt with the heat of the sugar in this one??

    Absolutely gorgeous!! Makes a fab pressie! Have made two lots ~ swopped whipping cream for double cream and on mu second batch used white granulated sugar instead of golden. Both tasted fab. Took a good 40 mins to reach the soft-ball point, and started to set as soon as i poured into the tin. Will be making for Xmas presents! :)

    Tried this recipe for the first time last weekend as it worked a treat. I took a previous comment about the baileys being a bit to weak so upped the qty to 150ml and left cream amount as it was. It took about 45 minutes to get to rolling boil and set with a few hours. JUST ONE THING.......Can anyone tell me how long the fudge will last. I am wanting to give out as Christmas gifts but would like to know how long it will keep for. Please can someone answer my question?????????

    Can anyone answer the question that keeps popping up - how long does this keep, or can you freeze it? Thanks!

    I'm sure this fudge would keep 3 or 4 weeks with such a high sugar content. You could probably freeze it, too. Will be making some soon - will let you know.
