Creamy Kahlua Chocolate Fudge Recipe
Ingredients
- 20 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- (1) 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Lightly grease an 8 x 8-inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper, allowing the excess paper to overlap on two of the sides, set aside.
- Add the chocolate and espresso powder into a large, heatproof bowl; set aside. Fill a saucepan with a little water (you want it about 1/4 full) and bring it to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to barely a simmer. Place the bowl containing the chocolate and espresso powder on top of the pot
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is completely smooth, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add in the sweetened condensed milk and butter and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the butter is completely melted.
- Remove from heat. Whisk in the Kahlua, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. The mixture will be VERY thick.
- Scrape the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to slice.
Gently run a butter knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the fudge. Remove the fudge and transfer it to a cutting board.
Peel off parchment paper, then slice the fudge into small pieces. Serve at once or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
You may also freeze the fudge, in an airtight freezer safe container for up to two months.
