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.

Is there a reciped for Kahlus fudge?
No, but I think you could just sub the Kahlua for the Amaretto.
Cheryl says

Let me know how it goes!

Hi , Quick question. Why does the Amaretto Fudge require only 2TBSP of Amaretto while the other fudge requires 1/4 of a cup of the booze ( Bailey’s and Fireball whiskey). I love Amaretto, can I increase to 1/4 cup with out destroying the mixture?
It was the first recipe I did with alcohol, and I was nervous to use too much. So I think you can definitely try with 1/4 cup!

Im sorry but confused the writter kept saying she. Then reffered to her son quinn who was having surgery.
I lost my second child, a son named Elliot, during a surgery when he was one week old. So I was referring to the anxiety I felt because of that trauma while dealing with my daughter (Quinn’s) surgery.
Pam says
I have a dumb question to ask. Can kids eat this? Does the alcohol freeze out?
I wouldn’t personally give this to my children because the alcohol does not cook out.
Mary Esther says
I’m so sorry about your son. I just lost my daughter in September. She was 36 years old and also slipped away during surgery. Needless to say I don’t feel like celebrating. But we all have obligations. For some reason I thought amaretto fudge sounded so good!saw your recipe then read your beautiful post. I think it’s a sign that I picked the right recipe. Thank you and God Bless you and your beautiful family.
Oh Mary, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I would not wish the loss of a child on anyone. The loss of a one week old and the loss of a 36 year old are no where near the same thing, but I can tell you that my loss has become less painful with time, and I hope yours will as well. Give yourself a lot of grace this holiday season and do only what sounds okay. I’m hoping the fudge brings a small smile.

if you were to use amaretto oil do you know how much to use ?
I have no experience with amaretto oil, but it looks like it is similar to using vanilla extract in a recipe, which would require different ratios of everything, not just the amaretto. I would look for a basic fudge recipe (or use the one on the side of the can of sweetened condensed milk) and then just add few drops of the oil and taste it, seeing if you need more before the fudge sets.
Murphey says
Hi, hope all is well. Followed the recipe. Doesn’t taste like amaretto at all. I used white chocoate and slivered almonds. Almost used frangelica instead, used Kailua instead of vanilla. Anywhoo….my fudge is bland and so hard I can hardly cut it. Any advice?
Hi Murphey! If I’m being honest, my advice would be to follow the recipe. Given the number of changes you made (especially switching from chocolate to white chocolate), its basically a completely different recipe, so I’m not really able to give you much insight as to what went wrong without making it myself.

I want to use this to coat plastic spoons , to be used in coffee. think it will work ?
Loisanne, that sounds dreamy! Unfortunately, I don’t think this recipe would firm up enough to work for that.

Re: coating plastic spoons with the fudge,
Lisa, went ahead with the Amaretto, and did the plastic spoons anyway, seems to have turned out just fine ! next I’m gonna do it with Baileys.
