Product Information

Can I use other brands of Irish Cream? Although I recommend the Baileys brand, you can use any high-quality Irish Cream liqueur. 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. 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:

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. Turn the slow cooker on to high and leave to cook for 40 minutes with the lid off, stirring every ten minutes.I have been asked over and over to do a baileys loaf cake, but I really wanted to level it up and make it out of this worldly. I went with the idea of a chocolate fudge cake and it worked spectacularly. There is just something different about chocolate fudge cakes that always wins. Have you ever splashed yourself with hot fudge? It usually results in a few naughty words. In my lifetime, I have made a perfect fudge once….ONCE! I did it properly to the letter with a thermometer and kept it stirring until I thought my arm would drop off. Other than that, I have always had an unsuccessful time making my own fudge. It would either develop burnt bits that floated around and/or it just wouldn’t set. 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. And let's face it - anything that has Baileys AND chocolate in it, is guaranteed to be delicious!!! 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

I always use my stand mixer to make frostings, partly because I’m lazy, but also because they are really good at it. I use the beater attachment and just really beat it well for a silky smooth frosting. If you are doing it by hand, it will still work perfectly, you will just need to beat it like crazy to get that same texture. This Microwave Baileys Chocolate Fudge makes a really lovely foodie gift for a friend (I made a few batches of this last Christmas). But it makes an equally as delicious late night treat for yourself. 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. 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. If you ask me what my favourite alcoholic tipple is I would probably say gin. But, if you ask me the same question at Christmas I would say Baileys without hesitation. But, I always make sure I buy enough Baileys at Christmas to last a good chunk of the way through the year! With that in mind it felt only right to make a slow cooker Baileys fudge to enjoy throughout the year too. What do you need for this Baileys Fudge recipe? How to make Baileys fudgeAdd coffee liqueur: Add 1 tablespoon of coffee liqueur to the fudge mixture to enhance the flavour of the Irish cream. Add orange zest: Add 2 tablespoons of orange zest to the fudge mixture before pouring it into the pan, for a citrusy twist. If you wanted to decorate this fudge, a Slow Cooker Baileys Malteser Fudge works well, simply by adding Maltesers to the top before putting it into the fridge. You could also try making a Baileys Salted Caramel Fudge by substituting the tin of condensed milk for a tin of Carnation Caramel and sprinkling the top with salt flakes. Why should I make fudge? 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? 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.
