St. Patty’s Irish Cream Liqueur Fudge
Recipe by: Bobbi Jo Lathan
PREP TIME
10 mins
COOK TIME
15 mins
TOTAL TIME
25 mins
INGREDIENTS
¾ cup butter (1 ½ sticks)
3 cups sugar
¾ cup evaporated milk
⅓ cup Irish cream liqueur (I like Bushmill’s or Bailey’s)
7 oz marshmallow cream
1 8 oz. pkg white chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
Git yourself a medium-sized saucepan and melt the butter, the evaporated milk, and the sugar.
Cook over a medium heat, stirring constantly, until blended.
Once it comes to a boil, then keep stirring, and let it boil for another 3 to 4 minutes.
Now, take it off the heat and slowly fold into the heated mixture, the marshmallow cream, the Irish Cream Liqueur, the white chocolate chips and the vanilla. You can beat by hand or use a mixer, and beat or mix ‘til smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into your parchment-lined pan and chill for at least 2 hours.
Once it’s hardened, take the fudge out of your ice box, and cut into small squares.
Lastly, find yourself a handsome Leprechaun, pour yourselves a short glass of Irish Cream Liqueur, and enjoy a piece of this here lucky fudge.
Oh, and don’t forget to raise your glasses and wish yourselves a very Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
