Avocado Irish Cream Fudge
Description
Although avocados seem like a strange ingredient for fudge, they give a great creamy texture to a decadent treat.
Ingredients
•
2 avocados, peeled and pitted
•
1/2 cup butter, melted
•
1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur
•
2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
•
6 cups confectioners' sugar
•
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
•
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Directions
1
Place the avocados and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Blend with an immersion blender until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape the mixture into a saucepan and stir over low heat.
2
Pour in the Irish cream and stir. Add the cocoa powder and stir until completely incorporated. Stir in the confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time, making sure the sugar is completely incorporated and the mixture is smooth before adding the next cup.
3
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and white chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Pour the melted chocolate into the sauce pan and mix thoroughly. Remove from the heat.
4
Line a 9X11-inch pan with wax paper or foil sprayed with cooking spray. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
