Cappuccino Fudge
Creamy cappuccino-flavored fudge combines coffee, cinnamon, and chocolate for a rich, indulgent treat perfect for coffee lovers and special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Line a 9-inch square or 9 x 13-inch pan with foil, extending the foil over the sides.
- Butter the foil to prevent sticking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsweetened cocoa powder in place of some of the chocolate chips. If you're out of instant coffee, brewed coffee can be used, but reduce the evaporated milk slightly to maintain consistency. Make sure to stir the mixture continuously while heating to avoid burning. Consider adding a pinch of salt to enhance the fudge's sweetness, which pairs beautifully with Cherry Cream Dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares to serve, as it is quite rich. It pairs well with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat. For a fun presentation, serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzled with caramel sauce. This fudge also makes a great addition to dessert platters, especially when combined with other sweet treats like Barbee'S Zucchini Nut Bread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Cappuccino Fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate it for a few hours before slicing. To reheat, place a piece in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until soft, but be careful not to overdo it, as it can melt too much.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips based on your preference. Just keep in mind that the sweetness of the fudge may change slightly depending on the chocolate used.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this Cappuccino Fudge vegan, substitute the butter with a plant-based margarine and ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free. You can also use coconut milk instead of evaporated milk for a creamy texture.
Is there an alternative to marshmallow creme?
Yes, if you don't have marshmallow creme, you can use a homemade version by whipping together aquafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas) with powdered sugar until fluffy. This will provide a similar texture and sweetness to the fudge.
