Description
This Baileys Fudge is a rich, creamy, and indulgent treat made with just three main ingredients. Ready in minutes using the microwave, it’s the perfect festive sweet for gifting or enjoying as a decadent after-dinner bite.
Ingredients
350 g (12 oz) dark chocolate, broken into pieces
350 g (12 oz) milk chocolate, broken into pieces
397 g (14 oz) condensed milk
150 ml (0.75 cups) Irish cream-flavored syrup (such as Baileys)
Christmas-themed sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Line a small square or rectangular dish (about 23 cm / 9 inches) with baking paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Place the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, condensed milk, and Irish cream syrup into a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir well until the mixture begins to melt together.
- Repeat heating in 30-second bursts, stirring between each one, until the mixture is smooth, glossy, and fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Sprinkle over festive decorations if using, then refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) until firm.
- Once set, lift the fudge out using the baking paper and cut into small cubes.
- Store in the fridge until ready to serve or gift.
Notes
Use a mix of milk and dark chocolate for the best balance of sweetness and richness.
Melt gently — overheating can make the fudge grainy.
Try adding caramel swirls, chopped nuts, or dried fruit for variation.
For a non-dairy version, use vegan chocolate and dairy-free condensed milk.
The fudge keeps for up to 2 weeks in the fridge or can be frozen for longer storage.
