Guinness Fudge Box - 170gm

Product Information

In a medium saucepan, bring the beer to a boil on medium/high heat. Boil for 20-25 minutes or until the liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup. Remove 8×8 pan with stout beer fudge from the refrigerator. Make sure it’s solid to the touch so the white chocolate layer will set on top of it. Pour the Bailey’s white chocolate fudge over the Guinness dark chocolate fudge. Beer Fudge is simply a fudge made with the addition of beer. It does require slightly different proportions of chocolate and sweetened condensed milk to get it to the right consistency. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished brownies out (makes cutting easier!). Set aside.

We’re going to start with a simple one. Guinness? Good. Chocolate? Good. Put them together and what do you get? A mouth-watering blend of creamy, chocolatey goodness, perfect for an after-dinner treat (or before dinner, we won’t tell). We are really impressed with the overall rounded flavour of this one. Melt together white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and 1/3 cup of Bailey’s Irish Cream in a double boiler. Stir until chocolate is melted and ingredients are well blended. Next, add additional Bailey’s to taste and stir until blended.Chop the chocolate very finely. I prefer to chop it roughly and then process it shortly in the food processor; it saves time, and the finer the chocolate is, the faster it will melt. I’m all about creating delicious and easy gourmet fudge at home. This dark chocolate Guinness fudge is easy to make, but it does take a little longer to prepare than most fudge recipes. However, reducing the beer is the only way to have any sort of beer flavor in the fudge. And you want that hint of beer flavor, don’t ya!?!?! The rest of the brownie ingredients are usual suspects. Butter, sugar, eggs, flour. Instead of cocoa powder, we’re using pure solid chocolate. Sometimes I use a combination of pure chocolate AND cocoa powder in homemade brownies, but I wanted to keep things really simple since we’re taking extra time to reduce beer on the stove. Dark chocolate comes to mind first. These Guinness brownies aren’t overly sweet, so you’ll find yourself grabbing another. (If it’s not the brownies that are addicting, it’s the frosting. More on that below!) If we’re talking texture, they’re very dense and very moist. In fact, they’re the moistest brownies I’ve ever baked… because they’re the only brownies I’ve ever baked with Guinness! Unlike my chewy brownies, these Guinness brownies are not particularly chewy. They taste like fudge. A square of dark chocolate fudge. How It Works

Then spread the mixture evenly onto a parchment paper lined 8″ x 8″ pan or glass dish (make sure the paper hangs over two ends of the pan so you can use it as a handle to remove the fudge when done). Place the container in the fridge and chill until set (about 2 hours).Chocolate: You may use only dark or a mixture of dark and semi-sweet chocolate. I prefer to mix the two; using only semi-sweet chocolate would make the fudge too sweet; both the booze and the sweetened condensed milk are already very sweet. Optional: A sprinkle of best-quality flaky sea salt. You don’t have to sprinkle the chocolate fudge with it, it will be amazing without it, but if you do, you will know what I mean. It just brings the treat to a whole new level. As I often do these days, I use light brown soft sugar in my chocolate cakes because I love the flavour that it makes. You can use caster sugar if you want, or if it’s what you have though – or even dark brown soft sugar for an even deeper flavour. The Guinness does bring a flavour itself though, so make sure to remember that. Let set: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the fudge until set; it will take at least 5 hours. I usually leave it overnight.

Cut the fudge into even squares. To get clean cuts, I recommend that you clean your knife in between cuts. Then go ahead and pop one in your mouth.

When you add ‘random’ ingredients to a sponge, it can create the most wonderful texture. Mayonnaise cake works as mayonnaise is essentially just eggs and oil, so ingredients you often find in a cake anyway! Courgette can bring a level of moisture… Guinness brings all of it. It creates a delicious sponge that I adore. We love the creamy, caramelly flavours found in a pint of Guinness. Here are five of the best Guinness-flavoured treats that taste like the stout. If using heavy cream, add it and beat until you have a spreadable consistency. If using whipping cream, whisk first to soft peaks, add a couple of spoonfuls into the cream cheese mixture and once this is combined, fold in the rest.
