Fudge Recipe made with Bailey’s Irish Cream Liqueur. Quick, Simple & vegetarian fudge recipe for all. Made for St. Patrick’s Day but enjoyed year round.
Hurray! It is St. Patrick ’s Day!
The best green food has to be the dessert food, especially the one with Bailey’s Irish Cream.
It is perfect for a quick fudge recipe and it is also a perfect fudge recipe for vegetarians. This fudge has no egg in it and it tastes heavenly!
This is a very quick fudge recipe and can be prepared in 10 minutes with about 2 hours of refrigeration time.
I found this wonderful natural green colorant on Amazon. If it is too expensive for you, try this recipe for making natural green colorant using Spinach.
In this fudge recipe, I added almonds instead of the traditional pistachios. There is such a thing as too much green in one recipe. Being a little on the lazy side, I like to buy almonds that have already been peeled and cut which I get from Spanish or Indian Grocery stores.
Tips for making it
- To make this fudge green, it is important to have all white-ish ingredients so that they can be stained. That is why I use white chocolate chips as the base of this fudge recipe.
- Instead of adding sugar, I like to use sweetened condensed milk which offsets the Bailey’s Irish cream perfectly.
- If you are the type who doesn’t like the alcohol in this fudge, then use a non-alcoholic version of Bailey’s Irish Cream. It works just as great.
- I made a small mistake when I made this fudge. I forgot to line the mini muffin tray with muffin paper. Okay, it was a HUGE mistake. When the fudge was ready, I had a hard time taking it out of the tray. Eventually, I was forced to scrap them off and mold them into circular shape by hand.
- To avoid my mistake, line the muffin pan with muffin paper. Or, add the fudge mixture into an oiled 9×9 pan and then cut it into squares.
One big fun thing about making this fudge recipe? I get to lick the pan in the end.
I also have a green antioxidant smoothie and an easy 5 ingredient avocado smoothie.
