Ingredients

  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup Irish cream liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups confectioners sugar, sifted

Directions

  • Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line with 2 pieces of parchment paper about 14 inches long; allow the ends of the paper to hang over the sides of the pan by several inches.
  • Stir evaporated milk, light brown sugar, white sugar, unsalted butter, and salt in a heavy saucepan over medium heat until the mixture forms a thick, smooth syrup.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until a candy thermometer inserted into the center of the boiling syrup without touching the bottom of the pan reads 238 degrees F (112 degrees C), 20 to 30 minutes. Stir often. Candy temperature will rise slowly at first, then more quickly as temperature increases; watch carefully.
  • Remove saucepan from heat and stir in the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
  • Scrape the mixture into the work bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with beaters; set the machine on low speed and mix in confectioners sugar in 3 additions, allowing the sugar to blend in completely before adding the next addition. Scrape down the bowl frequently and mix fudge until completely smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Scrape fudge into the prepared baking pan and place on a level surface to cool and set up, 3 to 5 hours.
  • Use the parchment paper ends as handles to lift the fudge out of the baking pan before slicing into cubes for serving.
