Ingredients
Scale
Coffee Fudge
- 2 teaspoons espresso granules
- 1 teaspoon hot water
- 7 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
Chocolate Fudge
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 7 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
Topping
- 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 49 chocolate covered espresso beans
- 3 tablespoons crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Dissolve Espresso: In a large glass bowl, combine the espresso granules with hot water and stir until fully dissolved.
- Prepare Coffee Fudge: To the dissolved espresso, add the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare Chocolate Fudge: In a separate glass bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted. Stir in the peppermint extract thoroughly.
- Layer Chocolate Fudge: Pour the chocolate fudge mixture evenly into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch pan, smoothing the surface.
- Layer Coffee Fudge and Chill: Pour the prepared coffee fudge over the chocolate layer evenly. Refrigerate the pan and let the fudge chill and set for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Cut Fudge Pieces: Once firm, cut the fudge into 49 equal pieces by making 7 rows and 7 columns.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the top of the fudge pieces. Immediately place one chocolate-covered espresso bean and sprinkle crushed candy cane bits on each piece for a festive finish. Store the fudge in a tightly sealed container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to line the pan for easy removal and cleaner cutting.
- Microwaving times may vary depending on your microwave; heat in short intervals to avoid burning chocolate.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For a stronger coffee flavor, increase espresso granules by 1 teaspoon if desired.
- Ensure peppermint extract is pure and food-grade for best flavor.
