Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tsp Instant coffee granules
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butter over low heat.
Stir continuously with a spatula until the chocolate chips and butter have melted, and the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the instant coffee granules, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt to the melted mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.
If desired, dust the tops of the fudge pieces lightly with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
