Ingredients
Instructions
- In a 2-quart saucepan, combine confectioners sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a full boil, 18 to 20 minutes.
- Boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. You can substitute the liqueur with a flavored extract like almond or orange for a non-alcoholic option. If the fudge dip becomes too thick, add a splash of evaporated milk to reach your desired consistency. Stir continuously while boiling to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
This fudge dip pairs beautifully with fresh fruit such as strawberries, bananas, or apples, making it a delightful dessert option. For an elegant presentation, serve it in a fondue pot with a variety of dippable fruits. You can also explore pairing it with a slice of Fruit Cake(England) for a unique twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, place it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, until it reaches the desired temperature.
