Instructions
Prepare:
- Grease the tin and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; it will make it easier to remove the set fudge from the container.
- Finely chop the chocolate. You can also do it in the food processor; the finer the chocolate is chopped, the faster it will melt.11 oz dark chocolate + 11 oz semi-sweet chocolate
Melt chocolate at bain-marie (water bath):
- You will need a saucepan and a heatproof bowl that fits on top of it.
- Half-fill the saucepan with water, place it on the stovetop, and bring it to a simmer.
- Melt chocolate: Place the finely chopped chocolate in the heatproof bowl and place this bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring that it doesn’t touch the water. Melt the chocolate slowly on barely simmering water, often stirring with a metal spoon.
- Ensure that the water underneath the bowl of chocolate is barely simmering and never comes to a boil. If the water gets too hot, remove the saucepan from the heat and continue stirring the chocolate off the heat until melted.
Make fudge:
- Add sweetened condensed milk and Bailey’s to the melted chocolate. Stir well to combine.1 can sweetened condensed milk + ½ cup Bailey’s Irish cream
- Let set: Pour the chocolate mixture into the pan. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the fudge until set for at least 5 hours or even better overnight.
- Cut fudge: Remove the fudge from the pan and cut it into small squares. If desired, sprinkle it lightly with sea salt flakes.sea salt flakes

Notes
- Chocolate: Use dark chocolate (72% cocoa) for an intense flavor or a mix of dark and semi-sweet to balance sweetness - Bailey’s and sweetened condensed milk are already very sweet.
- Sweetened condensed milk: I buy it from Russian stores for its ideal consistency and lower price. If unavailable, Eagle Brand or another thick variety works best. I haven’t used Carnation, but it’s often said to be too runny for fudge.
- Bailey’s fudge contains alcohol and should not be served to children, pregnant women, or anyone with alcohol-related concerns.
