✏️ Why you'll love this recipe

This Irish cream fudge is soft, creamy and full of Bailey’s Irish cream liqueur flavour. It also lasts up to a month, so it’s great to make ahead and keep.

No slow-cooker or candy thermometer is needed; this Bailey’s white chocolate fudge is made with condensed milk like Carnation as the secret ingredient.

This easy Bailey’s microwave fudge recipe is simple and perfect as a homemade edible gift for Christmas, Valentine’s Day or St Patrick’s Day candy.

🥘 Ingredients

Baileys Irish cream white chocolate fudge recipe ingredients in bowls with labels.

This Bailey’s white chocolate fudge recipe calls for the following ingredients:

  • Bailey's Irish cream liqueur: original or try your favourite flavour.
  • Sweetened condensed milk: e.g. Carnation brand.
  • White chocolate: use cooking chocolate or melting wafers for ease of melting.

See the recipe card for quantities.

Top tip: For accuracy, it’s best to weigh your ingredients rather than using cups.

♻️ Substitutions / Variations

Swap your white chocolate for milk chocolate for a chocolate Bailey’s fudge version.

You can choose any flavour of Bailey’s Irish Cream to try, giving a new twist to your Irish cream fudge. I’d recommend trying their Irish coffee flavour or Bailey’s salted caramel.

You can stir in extras like pistachio nuts or crushed Malteasers to your fudge mixture before pouring it into the tin.

You can also stir a few drops of food colouring into the fudge mixture for a festive twist, like pink or red for Valentine’s Day and green for St Patrick’s Day or Christmas.

📖 Method

Baileys Irish cream white chocolate fudge recipe method steps 1 to 4.

Step 1: Break white chocolate into pieces in a microwaveable bowl. Pour in the condensed milk and heat in the microwave for 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate has melted.

Step 2: Stir in the Bailey’s Irish cream liqueur until combined.

Step 3: Pour the mixture into an 8-inch baking tin lined with greaseproof paper and smooth the top.

Step 4: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set. Cut into small squares and enjoy!

💭 Top tips

  • Use white chocolate from the baking aisle for ease of melting. Make sure to break your chocolate into small, even pieces if you don’t use white chocolate chips.
  • Melt your chocolate mixture slowly using no more than 20-second bursts in the microwave to prevent it from burning or separating.
  • Even if your baking pan is non-stick, line your tin with baking parchment or greaseproof paper. Leave a small overhang of paper to make it easier to lift your fudge out of the tin after it sets.
  • Cut your Baileys white chocolate fudge into small pieces for bite-sized fudge squares. I cut mine into 36 pieces by cutting the whole fudge slab in half, then each of those halves in half again. Rotate your slab 90 degrees and repeat.

❔ Recipe FAQs

How long does homemade Bailey’s fudge last?

Your Bailey’s fudge should last for 2 to 3 weeks (though often longer!) when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep it in the fridge if it’s hot where you live.

Can you freeze Bailey’s fudge?

Yes! You can freeze your Bailey’s fudge wrapped in a layer of cling film and a layer of foil for up to 2 months. Defrost and enjoy!

Can you use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk to make fudge?

No, for this microwave fudge recipe, you should not use evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk. It needs condensed milk to set properly.

How do I firm up Bailey’s fudge?

If your Bailey’s cream fudge is too soft, then store it in the fridge to firm up.
