Baileys Irish Cream and Pistachio Fudge

This is the best Baileys Irish Cream and Pistachio Fudge I have tried or made for that matter. You need to make this fudge for sure.

Merry Christmas to all of my family, friends, followers and blog visitors. This will be my last post for 2010 since I am bound for TN is a few hours and won’t be returning until the new year. I guess a mini holiday vacation for me although I am not looking forward to the 10 hours drive that is ahead :-(

About this post now.

I have made this Baileys Irish Cream and Pistachio Fudge before but the first time around I made a mistake and didn’t add enough white chocolate chips. This time around, it looks good, it tastes even better, and I think the amount of chocolate chips was just perfect!

I know this Irish Cream or Baileys fudge is super sweet and all…but you know what? it is Christmas and indulging once in a while is perfectly OK. One piece will a long way, so go ahead and indulge :-)

These Irish Cream, or Baileys fudge also made it to my goodie Christmas bags this year so I hope you get to try it. Everyone keeps asking me for the recipe and tell me how good it is, and the best part?

No candy thermometer for this recipe!!

Enjoy!!

Baileys Irish Cream and Pistachio Fudge

Miryam's original recipe

Yield: 40 pieces

Ingredients:

• 36 oz white chocolate chips, Ghirardelli brand,  3 bags
• 1 14 oz can sweetened condense milk, unsweetened is best
• 1/2 cup Irish cream liquor, more if you like
• 1/2 cup raw pistachios, chopped, more if you like

Directions:

Lined a square pan, I used an 8x8 square baking pan, with foil paper lightly greased.

In a sauce pan, at low heat, pour all of the ingredients except pistachios. Stir constantly until chocolate has almost melted.

Turn off heat and continue stirring until chocolate is completely melted. Add pistachios and combine into the mixture. Pour mixture evenly onto prepared pan. Let cool until completely until set. I normally place it in the fridge overnight.

Remove fudge from pan and peal off the aluminum foil. Cut fudge into small squares.

Store fudge in an airtight glass container.
