Gardiners of Scotland Baileys Luxury Fudge Oval Tin 250 g

Product Information

Baileys Original Irish Cream plays a key role in the taste and texture of Baileys Fudge. The liqueur is made from a blend of Irish whiskey, cream, and a secret blend of cocoa and vanilla flavours, which gives it a unique and irresistible taste. This slow cooker fudge keeps well in the fridge, in an airtight container for a couple of weeks. The flavour matures over the first couple of days of it being in the fridge so you get the full Baileys flavour after it’s been in the fridge for a day or two. Can you make slow cooker fudge with evaporated milk? The process to make Baileys fudge is very simple. You'll have a batch of fudge whipped up in no time! Once you’ve got everything you need to make the fudge you can just keep making it again and again – in so many different flavours too! So here’s our delicious Baileys Slow Cooker Fudge recipe:

Like any of our chocolate fudge recipes you need to have condensed milk and chocolate for the basis of the fudge. I use a mix of white and milk chocolate but you can play around with the ratio of white to milk to find a mix you’re happy with. I wanted our Baileys fudge to be as close to the colour of Baileys cream liqueur as possible. I recommend a 2lb loaf tin, but you must only fill your tin to 2/3 full before putting in the oven. Any leftover mix can make some delicious cupcakes (bake time 22 minutes). This is the tin I use anyway, and I have no problems with it. Here is a recipe that sets for me each time, doesn’t make my arm tired and has the option to be a grown up fudge with Baileys or Tia Maria. So we are all here for a little bit of festive Baileys baking right?! Because this cake is going to change your life with how delightfully delicious it is. Honestly, it’s incredible. Cake

The cake has a slightly denser texture than a normal chocolate sponge, but that is what you are after; fudge cakes should be like this. They naturally use a lot more ingredients, but trust me, it’s worth it. The recipe is just like my chocolate fudge loaf cake and I am in love. I also see a lot of fudge recipes that include vanilla extract but I don’t think you need it in this one – the Baileys and chocolate have all the flavour you need. Can you make this fudge in the microwave? Can I just say that I'm so glad you're here... because this Microwave Baileys Chocolate Fudge is going to blow. your. mind.

Add mint extract: Add ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract to the fudge mixture for a refreshing minty twist. The fudge is gluten-free and made with natural ingredients that give it a unique flavor and texture. The unique combination of the flavors of Baileys and fudge creates a taste sensation that is hard to resist. We always cook fudge on a high slow cooker temperature setting and it takes around 40 minutes in total. You could make it on the low setting but it would take longer and would still need to be stirred regularly. You may as well keep the slow cooker on high and be done in under an hour! When cooking, is the slow cooker fudge lid on or off? And let's face it - anything that has Baileys AND chocolate in it, is guaranteed to be delicious!!!

More Info

Can I use other brands of Irish Cream? Although I recommend the Baileys brand, you can use any high-quality Irish Cream liqueur. When I started out making a batch of chocolate fudge, I couldn't resist infusing it with my favourite liqueur! The result is this incredible three ingredient (yes, three) Baileys Fudge.

Apart from that you can use any slow cooker for this Baileys chocolate fudge although if you have a much bigger or smaller one than standard you may have to adjust the cooking times. You also need to make sure you line your baking tin with good quality baking paper– don’t try and set the fudge in an unlined tin, it will end in disaster! How long does slow cooker fudge keep for? Can I use milk chocolate? Milk chocolate is very sweet and will result in a very sweet fudge. I recommend using only dark or semi-sweet chocolate, or at a pinch using half dark and half milk chocolate. For the frosting, it also follows the idea of my chocolate fudge loaf cake and my chocolate fudge cake with one of the best chocolate frostings you will ever make. Usually I use evaporated milk to level up the frosting, but obviously as this is a baileys themed bake, this recipe uses Baileys instead. We go through so much Baileys in my house! It's one of our favourite ways to finish off a lovely evening after a big dinner. Slow cooker fudge doesn’t need anything special to make it, and you probably already have everything you need at home, but this is the equipment we use:When combined with sweetened condensed milk and Baileys Irish Cream, the chopped chocolate melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. The dark chocolate provides a rich and intense chocolate flavour that complements the creamy, indulgent taste of Baileys. The coffee is so important as it brings out the flavour of the chocolate – don’t worry though you coffee haters, you can’t taste coffee. It’s so important to include it for best results. Can I use any alternative milks? For this fudge to work, I only recommend using sweetened condensed milk or light sweetened condensed milk. How to Make Baileys Fudge

Turn the slow cooker on to high and leave to cook for 40 minutes with the lid off, stirring every ten minutes.

Add nuts: Mix in ½ cup of chopped nuts, such as almonds or hazelnuts, into the fudge mixture before pouring it into the pan. We also use standard Baileys Irish cream for this boozy slow cooker fudge recipe but you could use any other brand of Irish cream liqueur or any other Irish cream flavored liqueur for a similar Irish cream fudge or you could even try using other flavours of Baileys for an easy fudge alternative. This delicious adults-only fudge requires no baking and takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. It's a truly indulgent dessert which is as easy as it is delicious! Ingredients It's super rich, soft and chewy... and oh-so-damn delicious. Yep, it's totally going to become your new favourite fudge!
