How to Make Amaretto Fudge
For the full recipe with all of the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Melt the chocolate chips. You can do this over low heat on the stove top or you can do it in the microwave. Either way, make sure that you don’t overheat the chocolate or it will result in grainy fudge.
- Mix in the sweetened condensed milk. It is imperative here that you make sure you have sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk.
- Add in the vanilla and amaretto. Pour the chocolate into a foil lined 8 by 8 inch dish. Let it set for about four hours and then cut the fudge.
Amaretto
Amaretto is one of my favorite liqueurs. It is amazing in my Amaretto Sour! But did you know that it is simple to make Homemade Amaretto? It would be amazing to gift with this fudge.

Storing
Store this fudge in an airtight container for up to two weeks. It can be stored at room temperature. This fudge also freezes really well. To do that, place it in a single layer and then freeze. After a few hours, transfer it to an airtight container. Store it in the freezer for up to three months.

Can I use parchment paper instead of foil? I am going to make this Sunday! Can’t wait!
Yes! Parchment paper will work fine.

Hi Lisa
Just made your PB Fudge recipe and I just saw the Amaretto Fudge…while reading the comments you advised someone they can increase the Amaretto to 1/4 cup, does the condensed milk have to be decreased??
Thank You
Yes. Make sure that you use Eagle Brand SCM and stir very well before measuring 8 liquid ounces or one cup. Do not use the full 14 ounce can.

Hello! Why is the amaretto fudge ingredient amounts different than your other booze infused amounts?
Does it really make a difference?
Confused… :(
It’s an older recipe and I’ve made tweaks then because people complained this wasn’t boozy enough, lol! Both will work.

I have made the Amaretto Fudge twice. The second time I melted the chocolates in a double boiler it turned out more creamy . It is such a great recipe. Thanks for sharing it
I’m so glad that you like it!

Worst ever!! Does not come our of foil no matter how long you let it sit in foil. No “suggestions ” if you should prep to do anything to help for anything to get our of foil and no hint of taste of amaretto. Save your money and time
I’m so sorry that this didn’t work out for you. This has never been my experience with this recipe, so I’m not quite sure what happened here.
