How To Make This Baileys Fudge Recipe
With only four ingredients, this creamy fudge will come together in a snap.
All you’ll need to do is melt the chocolate chips with the condensed milk in the microwave before adding the Irish cream and vanilla.
Pour into a loaf pan and pop it into the fridge for a couple of hours before slicing and enjoying.
Follow our step-by-step instructions to make this treat.
STEP ONE: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Line the pan with enough parchment paper so that it overhangs the sides of the pan. This will give you a sling that will make lifting the fudge out of the pan easier.
STEP TWO: Place the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl.
STEP THREE: Heat mixture, 30 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals. Heat for a total of 1 to 1½ minutes.
STEP FOUR: Stir until the chocolate is completely melted though the mixture is thick; then, stir in the Irish cream and vanilla extract. Initially, the mixture will be thick and lumpy, but as the Baileys incorporates, it will make a smooth, pourable mixture.
STEP FIVE: Spread the fudge mixture into the prepared loaf pan with a rubber spatula and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
PRO TIP:
To help cut the fudge after chilling, score a grid on the top of the fudge when it is barely set but still warm.
STEP SIX: Lift from the pan with the parchment paper and cut into pieces.
How To Serve
For an extra special dessert, consider adding a scoop of rich, creamy vanilla ice cream to contrast with the dense and fudgy texture of the fudge. To finish, drizzle the whole thing with caramel sauce for some added richness.
This sweet treat would make the perfect gift for grown-ups this holiday season. Add squares of this decadent fudge to a cookie tin or gift box along with our gingerbread fudge and eggnog fudge.
Our Baileys brownies and Baileys chocolate cheesecake trifle are two more extra indulgent recipes using this creamy Irish cream.
