Description
A deliciously rich and creamy fudge infused with the flavors of caramel and coffee, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, butter, heavy cream, and brewed coffee. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir until fully melted and smooth. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set.
- Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment overhang and cut into squares.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling for a sweet and salty contrast.
- For a festive twist, mix in crushed peppermint candies or a splash of peppermint extract.
