Coffee Fudge Recipes

COFFEE FUDGE

Steps:

• Line a loaf pan with foil and grease. Set aside. You can also use an 8×8 pan lined with foil. A loaf pan gives you thicker pieces and an 8x8 pan gives you thinner ones.
• In a pan combine sugar, butter, coffee granules, salt, milk, and marshmallows.
• Bring to a boil and continue cooking over medium high heat until it reaches soft ball stage, which is 234 degrees, on a candy thermometer. You will need to stir this to keep it from burning and you do need a candy thermometer to make it.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and chocolate chips until melted.
• Pour mixture into lined loaf pan. Cool completely or overnight and let cut into squares.

COFFEE AND FUDGE SEMIFREDDO

Steps:

• Line a loaf pan (9-by-5-inch works best) with plastic wrap, letting the edges hang over and allowing enough extra plastic to wrap the semifreddo.
• In a large bowl, combine the instant coffee, coffee extract, vanilla and 1 pint of the heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to whip until medium to firm peaks form. Use a spatula to gently fold in the condensed milk. Transfer half of the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and freeze until just beginning to set, about 20 minutes.
• Microwave 1/2 cup of the hot fudge with the remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 to 25 seconds, just to loosen it slightly. Spoon it lengthwise down the center of the pan, from end to end.
• Transfer the remaining cream mixture to the loaf pan on top of the fudge. Use a butter knife to make swirls going through the mixture. (This will move the fudge throughout the mixture.) Wrap with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 6 hours.
• Before serving, let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile heat the remaining 1/4 cup fudge. Unwrap the plastic, invert onto a serving plate and remove the plastic entirely. Drizzle with the hot fudge and sprinkle with the chopped espresso beans. Slice and serve immediately.

CREAMY COFFEE FUDGE

Steps:

• Stir the coffee into the fresh milk until mixed thoroughly then pour into a large non-stick saucepan with the remaining ingredients except the coffee liqueur (if using). Melt everything together over a low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
• Bring to a steady boil for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously and scraping the base of the pan to prevent it from catching. The mixture should reach 113-115°C on a sugar thermometer if you have one. If you don't you can drop a little mixture into a bowl of ice-cold water - if it forms a soft, round ball that doesn't stick to your fingers then it should be ready.
• Remove the fudge from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Add the coffee liqueur if using and mix thoroughly.
• Beat the mixture until it just loses its shine and becomes very thick (this should take about 5-10 minutes). The longer you beat once it starts to thicken, the crumblier the final fudge will be. If you like it smooth - beat it only until it comes away from the sides of the pan, so its thick enough to still just about pour into a tin.
• Press into the prepared tin with the back of a spoon and leave to set before cutting into squares. The fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature.
