Bailey's Irish Cream and Pistachio Fudge

Bailey's Irish Cream and Pistachio Fudge - ButterYum

Time of this month's Crazy Cooking Challenge - FUDGE!!  My selection, Bailey's Irish Cream and Pistachio Fudge.  It's so good, and it's so easy to make - it takes about 10 minutes from start to finish, requires only 4 ingredients, and there's no need to use a candy thermometer.  I found the recipe on the blog Eat Good 4 Life by Miryam.  She also has a tempting Kahlua and Dark Chocolate Fudge recipe that's just as easy, as well as all kinds of sweet treats and savory fare.  Lovely blog - I hope you'll stop by and pay her a visit.


Bailey's Irish Cream and Pistachio Fudge
makes one 9x9 square pan
adapted from Eat Good 4 Life

36 ounces white chocolate chips
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
6 tablespoons Bailey's Irish Cream
1/3 cup pistachios, blanched and chopped (more is okay)

Lined a 9x9 pan with foil and lightly grease with butter (or use nonstick foil); set aside.

In a heavy-bottom sauce pan over low heat, combine the first 3 ingredients and stir constantly until the mixture is completely combined.  Remove from heat and stir in pistachios.  Pour into prepared pan and chill until set. Cut and serve.

Note:  I reduced the recipe to 1/3 which worked perfectly with one bag of chips and a small airplane size bottle of Irish Cream (50ml).
