Irish Cream Fudge
Our recipe for Irish cream fudge only takes ten minutes to make from start to finish! The results are smooth and creamy—and the flavor is sweet, not overpowering or harsh with alcohol.
This recipe is festive and fabulous for a St. Paddy’s celebration, but they’re a great dessert any time of year. You can use any brand of Irish cream you fancy—and since we used a microwave to melt the chocolate, cleanup is a snap!
It’s important not to overheat the chocolate while making this recipe. We encourage you to heat the chocolate in intervals, stirring between each one, until the chocolate is 90% melted. You’ll also notice that the Irish cream will not immediately combine with the chocolate, but keep stirring—it will eventually combine to form a silky smooth texture.
