Really beautiful fudge. My first time making fudge and I can honestly say I will never buy it from the shops again.

Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur

150ml

Milk

4tbsp

Demerara sugar

450g

Butter

115g

You will also need...

20cm square tin lined with baking parchment

Step 1 of 5

Put 100ml of the Baileys liqueur and all the other ingredients into a large non-stick saucepan, reserving 50ml of the liqueur to stir through the cooked fudge at the end (for extra flavour).  Melt everything together over a low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Step 2 of 5

Bring to a steady boil for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously and scraping the base of the pan to prevent it from catching. 

The mixture should reach 113-115°C on a sugar thermometer if you have one.  If you don't you can drop a little mixture into a bowl of ice-cold water - if it forms a soft, round ball that doesn't stick to your fingers then it should be ready.

Step 3 of 5

Remove the fudge from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Add the remaining liqueur and mix thoroughly.

Step 4 of 5

Beat the mixture until it just loses its shine and becomes very thick (this should take about 5-10 minutes).  The longer you beat once it starts to thicken, the crumblier the final fudge will be.  If you like it smooth - beat it only until it comes away from the sides of the pan, so its thick enough to still just about pour into a tin.

Step 5 of 5

Press into the prepared tin with the back of a spoon and leave to set before cutting into squares.

The fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Baileys Fudge Made this twice the first time I eyeballed the last shot of baileys and put too much be it didn’t set even when in the freezer but waste not I used it with ice cream Alcohol content too high. Second time I made it I was short Of Demerara sugar and substituted it with castor Demerara and dark sugar, and the right amount of Baileys, and it’s still come out perfect I used a silicon tray in place of a grease proof paper lined tray.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great recipe I have made this four times, the only time it didn't set was when I didn't wait long enough to get it up to 115 degrees for a few mins. If your fudge doesn't set, ITS THE TEMP! Every other batch I did was fab

Rated 5 out of 5 by from OMG!! Gorgeously Boozy Bailey's Fudge I used to make fudge years ago, when I got stuck for an anniversary present for my parents I thought I would make some for them. I did think it would last them 10 days, well as you may have guessed, it didn't. It lasted 3 days. I made a half batch of Bailey's Fudge and a half batch of Coffee Fudge. They were so impressed with the fudges that they demanded I make more.
