But first let me tell you why you really need to make my Microwave Baileys Chocolate Fudge:

a) it's made in the microwave so it's E.A.S.Y;

b) it takes 10 minutes to prepare (which is nothing!!);

c) it's flavoured with Baileys (enough said).

This Microwave Baileys Chocolate Fudge makes a really lovely foodie gift for a friend (I made a few batches of this last Christmas). But it makes an equally as delicious late night treat for yourself.

Oooh and be warned... this fudge is super rich, so you only need a small(ish) piece. Mind you, I say 'smallish', but I'm pretty sure I ate about 10 'smallish' pieces!!!).

Enjoy! xx

PS. If you've got some leftover Baileys, why not try my Malteser Baileys Cheesecake or my Baileys Tim Tam Balls!?

Ingredients

▢ 300 g sweetened condensed milk
▢ 400 g dark chocolate broken into chunks (see notes)
▢ 75 g butter
▢ ¼ cup Baileys Irish Cream

Instructions

Conventional Method

Grease and line a 20cm X 20cm square cake tin with baking paper and set aside.
Place the sweetened condensed milk, dark chocolate and butter into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt on 50% power for 6-8 minutes (stirring every 2 minutes) until melted.
Stir through the Baileys Irish Cream.
Spread the fudge mixture into the prepared tin and place into the fridge for 3-4 hours or until set, before cutting into pieces.

Thermomix Method

Grease and line a 20cm X 20cm square cake tin with baking paper and set aside.
Break chocolate into pieces and grate on Speed 8, 10 seconds. Set aside.
Place the sweeteend condensed milk and butter into the Thermomix bowl and heat for 5 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 3.
Add the grated chocolate and heat for 3 minutes, 80 degrees, Speed 4.
Stir through the Baileys Irish Cream.
Spread the fudge mixture into the prepared tin and place into the fridge for 3-4 hours or until set, before cutting into pieces.

Notes

The higher the cocoa % in the dark chocolate, the harder the fudge will set.

If using dark chocolate melts, this will set to a soft fudge consistency. If using a high cocoa % dark chocolate, it will set slightly firmer.

As this fudge is soft, it needs to be kept in the fridge.

This Baileys fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

I'm just eating one of them. I actually made them for my colleagues at work as I had been sick last week and only wanted to try one and now I can hardly stop. Absolutely great! Greetings from Germany

Hi Lucy
I definitely didn't do anything wrong with this recipe but I have done it twice and both times it has come out the same where I cannot even scrape it off the baking paper. It is like slightly firm ganache. I am freezing this last lot to see if that makes a difference. I know that you said the higher content of cocoa in the chocolate makes a difference so I used 70% cadbury's baking chocolate. Where did I go wrong? Regards, Lynda.

  Hi Lynda, it is a very soft fudge so I don't think you're doing anything wrong! Try reducing the amount of condensed milk slightly. xx

  I have put desecrated coconut and rolled into balls when I had some that didn't set properly and that worked well

  Sure you can. You can find Irish Cream in the Cream section. Then it will be non-alcholic fudge but still Irish Cream.
