Before starting to cook the Irish Cream Fudge I greased an 8 x 8 inch baking pan and lined it with a parchment paper sling.

Then I placed a medium sized sauce pan on the stove, added a half pound of butter, some evaporated milk, brown sugar and a bit of Bailey's Irish Cream.

I turned the heat to medium.

I occasionally stirred these ingredients together until the butter had melted.  Once the butter melted I stirred it continuously until it started to bubble.

When it started to bubble I stopped stirring and allowed it to boil for 7 minutes.

After 7 minutes I removed the fudge from the heat and poured it into a large Pyrex measuring cup.

Then I stirred in more of the Bailey's Irish Cream.

Next I melted some chocolate in the microwave on low.

I stirred in a bit of almond milk to help with the melting process.

Once the chocolate had melted I stirred in some Bailey's Irish Cream.

Next I gradually stirred in the required amount of icing sugar.

I made sure the icing sugar was well incorporated.

After scraping the hot fudge into a greased 8 x 8 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper, I spooned the melted chocolate on top.

I spread the chocolate evenly over the fudge.

Once the fudge was hard I used the parchment paper to remove it from the pan.

Then I used a very sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares.

Enjoy this decadent dessert square any time of the year, with its smooth flavour and creamy texture.

Irish Cream Fudge is delicious dessert that will melt in your mouth.  It will be hard to eat just one piece!

  1. This looks amazing! Bet it tastes that way, too!
    Have you ever tried to make a dairy free version of any of these? I need both gluten and dairy free.

    1. Hi Linda,
      Yes I have tried without success. I also have to watch my dairy intake. Not sure if it is because it is boiled for a while but fudge has not really bothered me. I wish I had a better answer for you. I have seen recipes that use soy milk, vegan butter and vegan chocolate chips but I have not tried them.
      Take care,
      Kathleen
