Ingredients
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, milk, sweetened condensed milk, dissolved coffee, and vanilla over low heat.
- Remove from heat and stir in chopped walnuts.
- Spread evenly into an aluminum foil-lined 8 or 9-inch square pan.
- Chill at least 3 hours before cutting.
- Store covered in the refrigerator.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of all milk chocolate. You can substitute walnuts with pecans or omit them entirely for a nut-free version. If you want a stronger coffee taste, increase the instant coffee to 5 teaspoons. Always stir constantly to prevent burning while melting the chocolate mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the chilled fudge into small squares for serving. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. You can also serve it alongside Oduol'S Bundt Cake for a delightful dessert spread that guests will enjoy.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For the best texture, allow it to come to room temperature before serving. If you prefer a softer fudge, you can gently reheat it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between until just warm.
