Baileys Fudge (Just 3 Ingredients!)

We go through so much Baileys in my house! It's one of our favourite ways to finish off a lovely evening after a big dinner.

When I started out making a batch of chocolate fudge, I couldn't resist infusing it with my favourite liqueur! The result is this incredible three ingredient (yes, three) Baileys Fudge.

The fudge is gluten-free and made with natural ingredients that give it a unique flavor and texture. The unique combination of the flavors of Baileys and fudge creates a taste sensation that is hard to resist.

The fudge can be enjoyed on its own as a decadent snack, or paired with a hot cup of coffee or tea to create the ultimate indulgence. The taste of Baileys Fudge is rich and indulgent, making it an ideal gift for friends, family, or co-workers.

This delicious adults-only fudge requires no baking and takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. It's a truly indulgent dessert which is as easy as it is delicious!

Ingredients

Baileys Original Irish Cream

Baileys Original Irish Cream plays a key role in the taste and texture of Baileys Fudge. The liqueur is made from a blend of Irish whiskey, cream, and a secret blend of cocoa and vanilla flavours, which gives it a unique and irresistible taste.

Can I use other brands of Irish Cream? Although I recommend the Baileys brand, you can use any high-quality Irish Cream liqueur.

Dark or Semi-Sweet Chocolate

When combined with sweetened condensed milk and Baileys Irish Cream, the chopped chocolate melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. The dark chocolate provides a rich and intense chocolate flavour that complements the creamy, indulgent taste of Baileys.

Can I use chocolate chips? You can also use high-quality chocolate chips (NOT compound) in place of chopped chocolate blocks.

Can I use milk chocolate? Milk chocolate is very sweet and will result in a very sweet fudge. I recommend using only dark or semi-sweet chocolate, or at a pinch using half dark and half milk chocolate.

Sweetened Condensed Milk

Sweetened condensed milk is an important ingredient in Baileys Fudge that provides sweetness, creaminess, and richness to the fudge, it also helps to bind the ingredients and create the desired texture.

Can I use any alternative milks? For this fudge to work, I only recommend using sweetened condensed milk or light sweetened condensed milk.
