Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Preparation
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing or lining pan)
Instructions
- Prepare pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it with unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
- Melt chocolate and milk: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add flavors: Stir in the instant espresso powder, vanilla extract, salt, and caramel sauce into the melted chocolate mixture. Continue stirring until everything is fully incorporated and creamy.
- Pour mixture into pan: Transfer the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread and smooth the top evenly.
- Decorate: Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the surface and use a toothpick to swirl it into a decorative pattern for an appealing look.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours or until it is completely set and firm.
- Serve: Remove the set fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into 25 small squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the instant espresso powder to 1 tablespoon.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- This fudge makes an excellent gift or addition to holiday dessert platters.
