Main Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure your fudge releases easily once set.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semisweet chocolate chips and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
- Add Condensed Milk and Coffee: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk along with the instant coffee granules and a pinch of salt. Keep mixing until the coffee granules have fully dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
- Flavor with Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, blending it evenly throughout the fudge base.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to cut cleanly.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment edges. Cut into bite-sized squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Use quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Don’t skip the coffee granules to achieve the robust mocha taste without bitterness.
- Stir constantly when melting to prevent burning and ensure a silky mixture.
- Chill thoroughly so the fudge sets properly, making slicing easier.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and moisture.
