Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
- ¼ cup hot water
- ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- Dissolve the Coffee: In a small bowl, dissolve the instant coffee granules in hot water. Stir well until the coffee is fully dissolved and set aside.
- Make the Fudge Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth.
- Add Coffee and Vanilla: Stir in the dissolved coffee mixture and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
- Create the Caramel Swirl: Pour half of the coffee fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the fudge. Pour the remaining fudge mixture on top and spread evenly. Drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce and use a knife or toothpick to swirl the caramel through the fudge.
- Add a Touch of Salt (Optional): Lightly sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty twist.
- Set the Fudge: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours or until it is firm and set.
- Serve: Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or small pieces.
- Enjoy: Relish a piece of this Caramel Coffee Fudge, savoring the smooth caramel sweetness and the perfect coffee kick! ☕️✨
Notes
- You can use homemade caramel sauce for a more personal touch or store-bought caramel sauce for convenience.
- Adding the pinch of sea salt on top is optional but recommended for a sweet-salty flavor.
- Ensure the fudge is fully set before cutting for clean squares. Refrigerating it overnight will give the best results.
- If you want to make this fudge ahead of time, it can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
- To make the fudge extra smooth, make sure to stir constantly while melting the chocolate.
