I love Bailey’s Irish cream. It has a perfect blended of Irish whiskey and other ingredients that make it a special and quite decadent drink. but it is expensive to buy. Fortunately you can make your own Bailey’s Irish Cream.
I recently decided to use it to make some fudge. I had a bottle of it that had been in my liquor cabinet (unopened) for several months.
I assembled all my ingredients, and lo and behold, the bottle’s contents had gone off. The cream had sunk to the bottom of the jar and no amount of stirring or mixing would make it good again. But I didn’t have to abandon my idea for making Bailey’s Irish cream fudge.
Bailey’s Irish cream is just fabulous when used in recipes. Check out this easy Baileys mudslide truffle recipe for a really tasty way to infuse the flavor into candy.
Thus, my recipe for my own version of it. Tastes every bit of good for a fraction of the price of a new bottle. You will never pay for the real thing again!
Now off to make my great Bailey’s Irish Cream and Coffee Fudge.

I live in Australia, what can I replace Hersheys chocolate syrup with????
Hi Jenny, Any chocolate syrup that you use over ice cream can be substituted. Carol
Thanks so much for posting this recipe! I’m going to love trying it out! I’m allergic to flavoring so I have to avoid most liquors; this will be a big help!
HI Karman. I hope you enjoy it. Carol
how long do you have to let it sit before you can use it
Hi Donna. I used mine in the recipe right away and also tasted it just plain and it was fine. Carol
Wondering how to make the “MINT” flavor as they discontinued this a few years ago,and its the only one I like!!
Hi Sharon. Adding 1 teaspoon mint extract and ½ teaspoon almond extract to my recipe would probably give you the flavor you are looking for. Just adjust the extracts until you get the taste you like. Carol
I don’t like chocolate, do I have to add it?
Hi Anna. If you don’t add the chocolate, it won’t taste as much like Bailey’s. Carol
