Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Instant coffee powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Optional toppings (e.g., crushed coffee beans or sea salt flakes)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges overhang for easy fudge removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, dark chocolate chips, instant coffee powder, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat and gently stir the mixture using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. Keep stirring to ensure the chocolate melts evenly and the coffee powder fully dissolves.
Once the mixture is smooth and glossy (about 5-7 minutes), remove it from heat immediately to prevent burning.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing thoroughly to enhance the flavor of the fudge.
Pour the warm fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
Optionally, sprinkle crushed coffee beans or sea salt flakes over the top for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is fully set and firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 16 squares or your desired portion size.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the perfect coffee-flavored treat.
