This delicious Irish Caramel and Vanilla Fudge recipe combines the rich flavors of caramel, the warmth of Irish whiskey, and the sweetness of vanilla. It's a delightful treat perfect for any occasion, especially when you want to add a touch of Irish flair to your dessert.
Ingredients: 2 cups granulated sugar. 1 cup heavy cream. 1/2 cup unsalted butter. 1/4 cup light corn syrup. 1/4 cup Irish whiskey. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pinch of salt.
Instructions: Prepare an 8x8-inch 20x20 cm square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. In a large saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, heavy cream, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup. Place it over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture and cook until it reaches 240F 115C, the soft-ball stage. This should take about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Stir in the Irish whiskey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Pour the hot mixture into the prepared baking pan and let it cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours. Once the fudge has cooled and set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into small squares or rectangles. Your Irish Caramel and Vanilla Fudge is ready to be enjoyed! Store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
