Ingredients

  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 10 oz white chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup Irish cream liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over the sides for easy removal, and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, and butter. Place over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the white chocolate chips. Stir vigorously until the chocolate chips are fully melted and incorporated.

Step 5

Stir in the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle the top with a light dusting of sea salt for a sweet and salty contrast.

Step 8

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Step 9

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into 24 squares or your desired serving size.

Step 10

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
