Serious 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 FUDGE

Steps:

• In a small dish, stir the tablespoon of instant coffee into the hot water and mix to dissolve. Set aside.
• Stir together the white chocolate with sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt, if desired.
• Heat at 70% power for 90 seconds. Then remove and stir. Heat for an additional 45 seconds at 70% power then let the bowl sit in the microwave for about 3 minutes. Remove the bowl and stir until all of the chocolate melts.
• Mix in the dissolved coffee.
• Pour the fudge into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly.
• Refrigerate about 3 hours until firm. Cut into 25 squares.

ESPRESSO TOFFEE FUDGE

Steps:

• Lightly coat 9 by 13-inch baking pan with butter-flavored cooking spray. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and espresso powder. Stirring constantly, bring to a rolling boil for 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips and marshmallows until blended. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle toffee chips evenly over fudge and pat lightly. Cool until set, about 3 to 4 hours. Cut into bite-sized 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.

EASY COFFEE FUDGE

Steps:

• Pour the condensed milk into a microwave-proof bowl or jug with the coffee granules. Stir and leave for about 30 minutes for the coffee to start to dissolve.
• Prepare a tray by lining it with parchment paper, or simply oiling it if it is flexible. (If you are making a half can of condensed milk batch of fudge, a regular takeaway tray is the ideal size! If making a larger batch, either use two trays, or a 7-8" (18-20 cm) square pan.)
• Break up the chocolate and put it on top of the milk. Put it in the microwave on half power for 30 second bursts, stirring well between heating, until the chocolate is melted into the milk. The time taken will vary according to the power of your microwave. Go slowly, as you only want to melt the chocolate, not boil the mixture. White chocolate needs careful handling. The chocolate does not need to be fully melted when you stop heating it.
• Give the mixture a good stir until smooth. The remaining lumps of chocolate will melt in the warmth of the mixture.
• Pour the coffee fudge into the prepared tray, and smooth the top. Add sprinkles if you want to. Allow to cool. Place in the fridge for at least four hours to set.
• Cut into squares; store the fudge in a covered container in the fridge.
