I have a feeling you are going to LOVE this 3 Ingredient Chocolate Baileys Fudge!!
This Baileys Fudge recipe is my second experiment with the MASSIVE bottle of Baileys my husband bought back for me from duty free, and after the success of my Baileys Chocolate Brownies, I couldn’t wait to try adding Baileys to my favourite Chocolate Fudge recipe. This recipe could not be any easier to put together, and while you do need to wait a little while (overnight) before you can enjoy the results (that is unless you lick the bowl!!) I promise you it’s totally worth it!
It took every inch of my self control to just take one small bite of this fudge (I’m still breastfeeding) and it’s certainly going to go straight to the top of my must make list when our little guy is older!
This isn’t your ‘traditional’ hard fudge as it has a softer consistency, which makes it really important to let your fudge set overnight before cutting it into small (or large, there’s no judgement here!) pieces. It’s also important to use a good quality condensed milk for this recipe (I normally use nestle) as some brands can impact on how well the fudge sets.
As well as being a great dessert or sweet treat, this 3 Ingredient Chocolate Baileys Fudge also makes a great homemade gift and is perfect for easter or christmas gifts!
3 Ingredient Chocolate Baileys Fudge
Ingredients
- 395 g tin of condensed milk
- 500 g of milk chocolate
- 60 ml ¼ cup of Baileys
Instructions
- Line a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper – it’s important to make sure that you leave plenty of paper hanging over the sides to help you remove the Chocolate Baileys Fudge once it has set.
- Heat a medium saucepan over a low heat and add the condensed milk and the milk chocolate – which has been broken into squares.
- Stir regularly until the chocolate has melted and the ingredients have combined - around 8 minutes.
- Add the Baileys and stir for a further 2 minutes until the Baileys is well combined.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the fudge into the prepared tin and place in the fridge for a overnight (12 hours) to set.
- Remove the set fudge from the fridge and cut into squares.
Notes
Please note this isn't a traditional hard fudge and it does have a soft consistency.

Would you store this in the fridge or can it stay out?
Lauren
Hi Jo, it needs to stay in the fridge as it’s a soft fudge. 🙂
Jennifer Burns
How long will the fudge keep for if kept in the fridge?
Thank you
Lauren
Hi Jennifer, I’ve kept it in the fridge for a week 🙂
Becky
Hi can you do this but use white choclate instead of the milk choclate thankyou
Jan
Hi Lauren,
Can you use a different liqueur for this recipe. Do you use eating or cooking chocolate?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Jan, yes you could try a different liqueur, although I have’t before. Whenever I make this recipe I use eating chocolate, normally Cadbury or Lindt 🙂
Jan
The caramel fudge won’t firm up, even tried freezing….what did I do wrong?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Jan, is it my caramel fudge recipe you are making or this Baileys Fudge? Is it still liquid? If so, I’d suggest cooking it for a little longer. Also did you use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk?
Jan
Hi Lauren,
It’s the caramel fudge I’m having problems with, and yes I used sweetened condensed milk. I’ve had it in the freezer for 2 days and it’s still too soft to cut. Any suggestions?
Jan
By the way, I used Kahlua in the baileys recipe and it is very nice, also added a bit of coffee powder to increase the taste. It has set quite well too.
Laura
Hello…… I made the Bailey’s fudge but it doesn’t really taste like Bailey’s. Any ideas??? I used the real stuff….
Lauren Matheson
Hi Laura, I’m sorry to hear the taste wasn’t what you were after. I’d suggest adding a little more Baileys but also increasing the amount of chocolate you use, say add an extra 100g of chocolate? I hope that helps 🙂
Ellen
Nice but can’t taste the Baileys
Lauren Matheson
I’m sorry to hear that Ellen, you can always add a little more 🙂
Helen
Could you use dark chocolate instead of milk in the Baileys fudge?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Helen, you sure can 🙂

How is it best to cut it and when cut how can I stop it sticking together. As I want it to look nice as making for Xmas gifts . As I love the thought of homemade gifts
